At a makeshift camp for migrant families in India, Holt sponsors and donors are providing lifesaving emergency food to children in need.
On the outskirts of slum communities in Bangalore, India, children live in migrant camps. Here, hundreds of makeshift tarp homes are constructed with torn plastic sheets and discarded plywood.
Some children run barefoot through the dirt. Others, weakened by malnutrition, simply don’t have the energy to play. The brightness in their eyes has faded. At night, they fall asleep with empty stomachs and dream of food…
Migrant Families in Search of Hope
These families move from rural villages to crowded cities in search of a better life. But instead, most find deeper poverty.
Some parents find jobs in housekeeping, construction and other labor-intensive industries. But even then, their income barely meets their families’ basic needs.
Parents feel the deepest heartache, watching their children suffer without the means to ease their pain.
In their most desperate moments, Holt sponsors and donors bring hope.
Through their generous gifts, children receive a nourishing glass of fortified porridge every day — made with millets, rice, lentils and other wholesome ingredients — along with a boiled egg.
These emergency food rations ensure that nothing stands in the way of growing up healthy and strong.
Every child, no matter where they’re born, deserves to feel nourished, healthy and safe.
As we approach the end of the year, one of Holt’s most urgent priorities is rushing emergency food to hungry children. Your year-end gift can help feed a child who cannot wait another day.
