Thank you for donating to the Gabriel Project Mumbai Preschool Nutrition Initiative! Gabriel Project Mumbai needs your help for a vitally important new initiative to bring daily nutrition to 250 preschool children in nursery classes in the slums of Mumbai.

These 250 children, aged 3-5, who are attending preschools in the Mumbai slums do not have regular daily meals and many are malnourished.  As a result, their growing little bodies and minds lack the basic nutrients they need to develop properly. The damage incurred by not having the basic nutrition they need at this tender age is potentially enormous, and may adversely affect them for their entire lives.

According to the US National Library of Medicine-National Institutes of Health, chronic under-nutrition in ages 3-5 (in India) is linked to slower cognitive development and serious health impairments later in life that reduce children’s quality of life, as well as long-term malnutrition and stunting. (see full report here)

Starting in May, we are launching the Gabriel Project Mumbai Preschool Nutrition Initiative to provide daily hot, nutritious meals to preschool children in the slums, at a time in their lives when they need it most. The hot-meals program will provide crucial long-term health and developmental benefits in order to enable the children to thrive.

But we need a few heroes like you to make it happen.

The cost of this crucial program for all 250 preschool children is $2000 a month. We are looking for 120 Preschool Nutrition Heroes, 120 people willing to make a onetime donation of $200 or a standing donation of $17 a month to provide basic nutrition to the Mumbia preschool children.

We need your help. Please consider a contribution to the Gabriel Project Mumbai Preschool Nutrition Initiative.

On behalf of the beautiful children in our care, we thank you. Sincerely, Jacob Sztokman Founding Director, Gabriel Project Mumbai www.gabrielprojectmumbai.org
