Our story

It started with one belief

No one should sleep hungry. That simple belief lit our kitchen fire in 2020 — and it has not gone out since.

Every morning and evening we cook fresh, sattvic food, and our sevaks carry it, still warm, to the homes of the blind, the disabled and the destitute across Porbandar.

    Sevaks begin carrying hot meals to people's homes.

  3. Next

    Care beyond people

    Cows, birds, street dogs and ants are fed too.

  4. Today

    Ten sevas, run only on donors' kindness.

Our founder

The heart behind the kitchen

It began when our founder saw elderly, blind and lonely neighbours in Porbandar going to bed hungry — and decided that could not go on.

In 2020 the first pots were cooked and carried by hand to a few doors. That same promise now reaches homes, cows and birds across the city, every single day.

We never ask who someone is or why they are hungry. If they come to us, they eat — with dignity, like family.
