Healthy Living


"JAAGO Foundation", along with its other social development programs, strives to meet the demands of the health and nutrition factors of the students. The aim of the project-'Healthy Living' is to take care of the student's physical condition and nourishment issues.

Most of the students of JAAGO are slum-dwellers and come from incredibly disadvantaged families. Due to lack of proper sustenance, they are often seen suffering from malnutrition. In addition to that, some of the parents find it futile to send their children to school because they realize that the opportunity cost is the child’s active contribution in the family earnings. The 'Healthy Living' program was designed keeping these two features in mind. Currently, on a weekly basis, the students of JAAGO Foundation are provided with nutritious foods such as milk, egg, bread, butter, jam, jelly etc. It serves two purposes at the same time. On one hand, it takes care of the health and nutrition of the children and on the other hand, it motivates the parents to keep sending their children to JAAGO regularly.

The needed funds for the 'Healthy Living' program come from the selling of the donated clothes provided by different well-wishers of JAAGO Foundation. In a case of more funds being available, JAAGO plans to provide these nutritious meals on a daily basis instead of the weekly system that it currently follows.
