As we all know, hunger continues to be one of the biggest problems in the modern world. And with the hunger of 190 million people which exists in our country alone, it is about time we take some proper steps to eradicate this concerning issue. And on that note, we at Bangin Beats are putting the spotlight on Robin Hood Army. Renowned as one of India’s biggest volunteer driven and zero-funds organisation, RHA is looking to feed one million hungry people across the country as part of their #MissionMillion2018 initiative on Independence Day.
Ever since being founded in 2014, Robin Hood Army has been led by a mighty team of passionate volunteers, who collect surplus food, which otherwise goes waste, from restaurants and distributes it to the poor and homeless. A mammoth task which will see them take a shot at achieving a truly big feat, and more importantly provide meals to the needy in several cities, in the days leading up to August 15th, RHA have stayed hard at work for their most successful Independence Day campaign to date.
With an amazing tech component that has been set in place where in millions of people including you can go to their website and tweet to 38 of the most influential people in the country (politicians, policy makers, industrialist, Bollywood A listers, sports celebrities among others) including the likes of Narendra Modi, Shah Rukh Khan, Virat Kohli, Deepika Padukone, AR Rahman, Priyanka Chopra and many more, RHA also have a crowdfunding tie up with Big Basket where in you can donate directly to Big Basket who will then handle the delivery of food to hundreds of thousands of people.
Moreover, an ambitious tie up with Akshay Patra, India’s largest provider of meals, has seen them create a custom page for #MissionMillion2018 which would enable leaders to adopt a school and directly provide lakhs of meals every year directly to the children in need. And fret not, individuals including you and your friends can also support children for an entire year.
