This picture was taken some time ago after The Good People Fund helped outfit a kitchen in the Kalwa slum in Mumbai. Working with Gabriel Project Mumbai and its passionate founder, Jacob Sztokman, the new equipment has made it possible for 16 women to prepare hot lunches for 500 kids (keeping them well fed and in school), as well as earn their own money–something they have never done before.
In an update that was received today, we learned that some of the women have used this experience as a springboard to further entrepreneurial ventures, thus helping their families, their communities and most of all, themselves. Empowering women can “change the world through food and love” and how proud we are to be part of it all.
