KEY POINTS
Aim
By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
Langar to reduce hunger
· Several Sikh organisations like Khalsa Aid, Langar Aid, Midland Langar Seva Society and others are now branching out to other countries where langar is used to provide nutritious meals to the undernourished.
· One such organisation is ‘Zero Hunger With Langar’ which is specifically working in two African countries — Malawi and Kenya — which are among the countries with the highest malnutrition rates among children and feature in the UN’s target list.
· Founded in 2016, ‘Zero Hunger With Langar’, working under its parent body ‘Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha’.
· Malawi is among the countries with the highest levels of malnutrition in the world hence we started serving there first.
· It is targeting children in primary schools, nurseries because there children are exploited for something as basic as food. They are made to work in return for food.
· The organisation is serving highly nutritious porridge meals with maize, soya etc. rich in carbohydrates and other vitamins, minerals to them.
