Disrupting Education

Bridging the digital divide in education through educational tablet distributions.

Healthcare Infrastructure

The Challenge : Pandemic-induced Hunger Crisis

• The pandemic has pushed over 75 million more people in India into poverty, according to the Pew Research Centre.

• For poor children in India, this impact has been worsened by multiple school closures ending their access to free mid-day meals.

• The result has been a rise in a severe but under-reported hunger crisis spreading across India.

Vision Rescue’s Response Interventions

Vision Rescue Communities

•  Distributing Emergency Grocery Kits to our children’s families every month from April 2020 to date. Each kit comprised grains, lentils and other staples sufficient to feed a family of five for 40 meals.


•  To meet the need of rising child malnutrition, from May 2021 we began distributing High-Nutrition Grocery Kits comprising 15 items of high nutritional value such as, peanuts, soya, chickpeas etc, along with staples, to feed a family of five for 70 nutritious meals.

Communities Nationwide

•  We networked with 50+ non-profit organisations and government bodies at 166 villages, 28 districts, in 14 states across India to distribute Emergency Grocery Kits to communities struggling with hunger.


•  In addition, we supplemented 6 community kitchens with groceries, and provided cooked meals to daily-wage labourers and police officers during the reverse migration crisis.
