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
