Story

Malnutrition is a severe problem in India in which we lose 500,000 children each year. Food Security is not enough as the human body requires nutritious food to prevent stunting and malnutrition from an early age which impacts the life of the individual, community, and nation as a whole. The Breakfast Revolution provides affordable, tasty power-packed foods that are proven to work. 70% of children's health has improved after consuming our nutritious and tasty meals. We partner with many NGOs throughout India to multiply our outreach. In addition, we have teamed up with Kelloggs to create a nutritious breakfast cereal "Bright Start" which is a healthy alternative to combat morning hunger.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at one of the Breakfast Revolution's centers called CORP (community outreach program) in Dharavi Mumbai. Dharavi is one of the largest slums of Asia and is a maze of tiny passages and dwellings with families living cheek by jowl. The children in the center range from 1.5-6 years of age and the center is open from 9:30am-5pm and serves as a daycare center for working families to leave their children to be taken care of. TBR provides nutritious snacks and breakfast to help ensure a healthier and brighter future. I had the most rewarding experience spending time with these kids. All were very excited to see me and talk about fun and important events in their lives. The level of creativity in their minds also amazed me and their positive energy is very contagious and fun to be around.
