Project Details : Sumadhura Foundation conducted a baseline assessment to realise that most of the students in the Government lower primary school are from the underprivileged communities nearby and do not have the means to have a healthy breakfast. We are in the process of identifying an appropriate vendor to start the distribution of breakfast to the school students.
