Empowering Local Farmers

Through the daily meal program at Dimbulwala School, we aim for a secondary goal - empower local farmers by purchasing their produce. Instead of paying money for purchasing produce from supermarkets at high prices, we started a program to purchase local produce.

  • This gives a fair price to local village farmers and helps their families

  • Keep costs of our meal program low
