Vitamin A deficiency is widely prevalent in many countries in Asia and Africa, including the Philippines. The incidence here has been reported from 15 percent to 20 percent. “This is equivalent to 2.1 million children who are at risk of getting sick, blind, and even death if left untreated,” says Dr. Reynante L. Ordonio from the Philippine Rice Research Institute.
Health Futures Foundation and Every Infant Matters are together in 6 municipalities. We distribute 2 drops of Vitamin A to marginalized, malnourished children to save them from permanent blindness.
The project is being carried out in the Barangays (a Barangay is a cluster of villages or neighborhoods) in tandem with the government, and we extensively train Barangay Health Workers to include them in our projects. The work extends across 6 municipalities, one of them being a small island Capul, Northern Samar.

We go around the city at odd hours, even in the middle of the night and in the early hours of morning. We find people shivering in the cold, and we give them blankets. Today we found little children doing acrobatics at street lights and begging for a living. Their eyes lit up with happiness when we gave them blankets and biscuits, providing both food and warmth to their malnourished bodies.

Grim situation in the world today. The chilling truth is that many will die in this second wave of Covid. “We cannot let our children starve to death,” says Dr Radhika Batra, Founder and President of Every Infant Matters. “This is why we have started the Million Meals Project. Volunteers go out every day in the afternoon and serve freshly cooked nutritious meals to those who are hungry specially to migrant workers who have lost their jobs. The time has come that every person must work towards preventing hunger and saving lives. Food has become an urgent need. We thank our donor Zomato Feeding India for their incredibly generous offer: Pick up as much food as you need from our kitchens!” We are thrilled to get food for distribution worth Rs 3 Crores ($650,000) We thank all those who have helped in raising our distribution costs of Rs 1.98 per meal.

We are distributing 3500 freshly cooked meals daily to combat hunger.
We started with 200 meals in Delhi everyday. Now we send out 2500 meals in 2 vans everyday. We distribute 1000 in Latur, and shall continue to scale.
We serve those whose lives have been devastated by the Covid pandemic. Women and children abandoned. Laborers who have lost their jobs. Children whose dull eyes reflect the pain of their empty bellies. Marginalized communities like sex workers, transgenders, manual scavengers, tribals. Dedicated volunteers visit slum clusters carrying large steel containers of food, and serve with love and devotion. “Hunger is the biggest enemy,” says Dr Radhika Batra, our Founder & President . “A baby is nourished in the mothers womb. After birth, it’s the mother’s milk that nourishes the baby. But what happens after that? Why is it that we cannot fulfil our promise to these children? How can the world continue to be indifferent to the plight of hungry children? When will we realize the chilling truth, that hunger can lead to devastating consequences, poor immunity, recurrent infections, and even permanent and irreversible blindness.”
