Mumbai, May 27, 2023. The Malabar Group's ‘Hunger-Free World’ Campaign is making a significant impact by providing meals to nearly 32,500 people every day. The chairman of Malabar Group, Mr M P Ahammed, envisions reaching the milestone of feeding 1 lakh people daily. Currently, the campaign operates in India and Africa through various centres. The CSR initiative aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 2- Zero Hunger.
According to statistics released by various international agencies, around 80 crore people are living in poverty globally. Mr M P Ahammed, the chairman expresses that the Hunger-Free World Campaign is the group's contribution to the global fight against poverty, joining the efforts of various countries and agencies.
To carry out this noble mission, Malabar collaborates with "Thanal," an association known for its commitment to social service. Kitchens equipped with modern facilities have been set up in different locations to prepare meals. Well-trained staff are appointed to ensure that the food is prepared with the utmost care and hygiene. Volunteers from both Malabar and Thanal come together to distribute food packages to individuals on the streets and those in need.
Packages are primarily distributed at railway stations, bus stands, and hospitals. Around 75% of the recipients who receive food daily are the same, with many women and children benefiting from this initiative. Besides this, Malabar volunteers also conduct surveys to assess the poverty situation in the country.
In addition to the Hunger-Free Programme, Malabar Group also extends its support to the underprivileged by assisting with health care, education, and housing. All the verticals under the Malabar Group, including Malabar Gold and Diamonds keep aside 5% of the company’s profit to carry out social service programmes. Within this period, Malabar has contributed around Rs. 200 crores towards the well-being of people and society.
