Food-for-Life Nepal (FFLN), a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of marginalized children and communities in Nepal, recently hosted a stall at the Administrative Staff College in Lalitpur as part of the 15th Human Rights National Magna Meet 2023 held on December 8th.
Inspired by the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, Mr. Brijesh Lacoul, Founder-Chairperson, established FFLN in September 2015 with a mission to address classroom hunger by providing nutritious meals to community school children. Since then, they have been providing daily meals to over 10,000 community school children, paving the way for multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the primary focus on SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 4: Quality Education. By directly tackling these two critical goals, FFLN creates a ripple effect that positively impacts other SDGs like poverty reduction, gender equality, and responsible consumption.
During Human Rights Magna Meet Day, FFLN’s stall enhanced the visibility of its initiative and campaign, with the Mid-day Meal Program being the major focus. Participating in this event provided FFLN with a valuable platform to advocate for and emphasize the fundamental rights of every child, especially those vulnerable children who have been deprived of education due to hunger.
Saroj Acharya, Executive Manager, FFLN, said, “Food for Life flagship program, Mid-day Meal, is a testament to our commitment to human rights. FFLN was motivated to participate in the Human Rights Magna Meet event as it perfectly aligned with our core objective, i.e., to ensure access to nutritious meals, education, and overall well-being for every child. Our aim was not only to raise awareness about our program but also to create a memorable and impactful experience for attendees, emphasizing the vital role of nutritious meals in upholding the rights of every child.”
