FOOD FOR LIFE VRINDAVAN HAS BEEN WORKING IN INDIA SINCE 1991. OUR WORK INCLUDES FREE MEAL DISTRIBUTION, CLEANING AND TREE PLANTING, PAPER RECYCLING , ORGANIC FARMING, AND A SEWING AND EMBROIDERY CENTRE (PROVIDING TRAINING & EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR VILLAGE WOMEN). PRIMARILY, FFLV RUNS SCHOOLS PROVIDING FREE EDUCATION, MEALS, SKILL TRAINING AND MEDICAL HELP TO OVER 1500 GIRLS IN INDIA. OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS OF WORKING AT GRASSROOTS, WE SAW THE INTENSE HARDSHIPS A GIRL FACES WITHOUT AN EDUCATION, CHILD MARRIAGE BEING THE MOST COMMON ONE, WHERE SHE IS FORCED INTO AN ADULT ROLE AT AN EARLY AGE. FFLV AIMS TO KEEP THE GIRL IN SCHOOL UNTIL SHE IS 18 TO PREVENT EARLY MARRIAGE. WE ALSO ENCOURAGE & SUPPORT THE GIRL TO PURSUE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.
