    Support the underprivileged Tuberculosis patients living in the rural areas

    from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh

Hridaan is a youth-led initiative to support the underprivileged Tuberculosis patients living in the rural areas of India. The funds generated through this festival will be used to deliver nutritious food to the pre-mapped TB patients for a period of 6 months. Since these patients are facing challenging times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resultant lockdown, there nutritional requirements are not being met which has posed the threat of the spread of this disease in the community.

Hridaan Festival has a series of recreational events and competitions where anyone can participate. We have put a very nominal registration fee for the participants which will be directed towards the cause of supporting the nutrition food to pre-mapped TB patients.

Plan of action of providing support to the TB patient:

A. Supplementary nutrition
A nutritional packet would meet 15 % of calories & 40% of monthly proteins’ requirement of a TB patient if totally consumed by him/her.
