HYDERABAD: One hundred and ninety students from the Chirec International School, Hyderabad have crowdfunded Akshaya Patra Foundation’s Covid-19 Relief Efforts to the tune of Rs. 1.05 crores through a fundraising campaign.
The funds received helped to serve over 4 lakh meals to economically underserved and daily wage laborers. These students are in the 13-17 age group across Grades 9 and 12. They raised the amount in three weeks on Fueladream.com, an online crowdfunding website.
Five students-- Divija Cherukuri (Grade 9), Krishna Teja Somisetty (Grade 10), Sreeni Reddy (Grade 9), Vajra Mocherla (Grade 10) and Dia Reddy (Grade 10), are the leading fundraisers from the school.
“We are overwhelmed with the support we have received from the students and management of CHIREC International School. This crowdfunding campaign is a testament to Millennials and Gen Z empathizing with the less privileged. This endorses our campaign that ‘no individual should go hungry’. We are humbled that these students have come forward and crowdfunded Akshaya Patra which exists to serve the society,” said Sundeep Talwar, CMO, Akshaya Patra.
During Covid-19, Akshaya Patra came forward to support homeless people and migrant laborers by providing cooked meals and grocery kits across India. Incidentally, Akshaya Patra and associate foundations have served about 70 million meals to underprivileged sections of the society over the last four months.
