With the accumulated funds, JAAGO provides nutritious foods, hygiene products and medication to the underprivileged kids of the slum. No portion of the funds is spent for administrative purposes.

Standard Chartered Bank visited JAAGO Foundation. A total of 14 employees from SCB, including the HR Director Mr. Sandeep Mookharjee, Head of Corporate Associates Mr. Bitopi Daash, and Head of Transformation Project, Comsumer Risk Ms. Faria Afzal, came to spend some of their valuable times with JAAGO. They reached JAAGO sharp at 12 noon and spent the entire day with the underprivileged students of this school.

At 12 noon, the 14 Representatives of SCB reached JAAGO and started interacting with the kids. They visited every class-room and spent some quality time with them. The kids recited rhymes for them and one of the three Chief Guests sang melodious songs for the kids. This was followed by a visit to the field where the kids were served sumptuous foods. During the lunch, the kids suddenly left their places and started feeding Miss Faria.
