Why? World Food Day  is commemorated worldwide to raise awareness about the need for proper nutrition that is still inaccessible to a significant part of the world. With development, our world has reached the utopia we dreamed of a few years ago, but some of the problems we faced have remained with us and are now even more severe. Hunger and Malnutrition are one such problem that needs to be taken care of before it becomes unavoidable. Many researchers and scientists are experts on the topic of the future, who claim that eventually, the problem will be solved as our future abilities will allow us to double the resources we have right now. But that is just a dream; if in the present, we can see that thousands of people in remote parts of the world are suffering and losing their lives because of a lack of food, then all the justifications fail. Hunger and Malnutrition are global problems that affect millions of people every year, causing significant health problems and severe socio-e...

The theme for World Mental Health Day, 2022 is  “Make Mental Health and well-being for all a global priority.”  The Child Help Foundation strives by the word that Mental Health is at the core of our survival and security. It does not end at acknowledging that mental illness exists but goes beyond to resolve and realize that we may also be one of them. Thus, sensitivity and active work toward healing is the priority. It is important to bring to the fore the mental health concerns that are common among us and not yet worked upon. Anxiety, Stress, and Eating Disorders are not just problems, they are inherently affecting our mental stability, productivity, relationships, parenting, and physical health. Statistically, India has one of the highest prevalences of mental illnesses globally. Marking the tentati...

  Daan Utsav was previously known as The Joy of Giving Week. The Joy of Giving Week (JGW) is a "philanthropic festival" that aims to become a part of the Indian ethos, with the Week being celebrated every year around Gandhi Jayanti by engaging people through "acts of giving" - money, time, resources, and skills - spanning the corporate, NGO, and government sectors, schools, colleges, and the general public. CEOs, teachers, construction workers, children, senior citizens, and others from all walks of life gather during this time to give back to the society that has supported them for so long. The 'daan' can take any form, including time, money, resources, or skills. People participate in this event through small gestures such as providing a home-cooked meal to a homeless person, as well as larger gestures such as donation drives and community kitchen programmes. In this way, the spirit of community harmony is strengthened, and assistance is extended to those ...
