This 15th August Help Us Feed 5000 Orphans A McDonald's Happy Meal

Story
Updates (3)

This Independence Day, we want to get 5000 orphans around Bangalore City meals from McDonald's. To a kid with no parents, a burger is a symbol of something almost unattainable. Last year, we worked with 1000 kids, and this year, we'd like to spread the smiles further. You can read more about the project on this blog post.

FAQs

Why McDonald's?

We chose McDonald's even though there are healthier, cheaper

alternatives on the grounds that on Independence day, we want to give

the kids a treat, not necessarily a nutritious meal which they would

probably get otherwise anyway.

How much does it cost to feed each kid?

The meal we're getting costs ₹126 at the restaurant, including taxes.

McDonald's has promised us a reduction in price, given that we're

doing it for charity, so we're estimating around ₹100 per meal.

Who is the team?

The team consists of several teenagers. We're going to go to each of the
orphanages and make sure that the burgers arrive. We're also going to

get plenty of pictures.

Where do I get updates about what's going on?

We have a Facebook page here which we update regularly, so you'll

always know what we're up to.

How do I know that my money is going where you're saying it is?

You don't. At least, not until after the event. Once the event is
over, we'll release a set of accounts showing that the money has gone
where we say it will. You can take a look at last year's accounts here.

Dear Supporters,

We have only 5 days to raise the necessary funds for 5000 Happy Meals for our dear kids of Bangalore.

To help us achieve our goal faster, a Milaap Impact Partner has offered to match all donations made on the campaign page starting today until the midnight of 11th August, 2017 upto a limit of 400 USD.

This means for every 1000 rupees you contribute on the campaign in the next 5 days, our sponsor will contribute 200 rupees - thereby giving us 1.2X impact.

We need your support to unlock this 1.2X impact. Make a contribution, spread the word, share the campaign. Together, we can treat 5000 kids of Bangalore with a Happy Meal!

If you're under 18 and interested, you can sign up to visit an orphanage and help us out here. You can also find more details in this blog post.
