Change With One Meal

The last appeal for monthly #support! This is an unlimited thali we serve for just Rs.10 at Change With One Meal since last 4 years. The cost of one meal comes to around Rs.35, out of which we get Rs.10 from the beneficiary and the remaining Rs.25 comes from generous people like you. We serve around a thousand people everyday and this month we needed Rs.9.8 lakhs to pay our bills. So far we have raised only Rs.2.3 lakhs and we still need Rs.7.5 lakhs It takes only Rs.750 to feed one person whole month and even if a thousand people contribute this amount, we can serve meals to almost all the people coming to us. This is the last appeal for the year and also on my profile as going forward we will have a website to raise funds every month automatically (if we successfully raise needed funds this month).

Do you know why we charge Rs.10 at Change With One Meal for unlimited food? First picture is the food wasted was by a rich and qualified family. Which could have fed so many. Second picture is the food wasted by more than 1000 poor and unqualified people at #ChangeWithOneMeal. That’s the #change we are creating by taking Rs.25 from the blessed and fortunate people. And adding Rs.10 to cover the cost of Rs.35 for the unlimited meal. You may have hundreds of excuse for not feeding a poor, but just little empathy is enough to feed those who need us. We need Rs.3.4 Lacs more to pay our bills for this month and all it takes is just Rs.750 to feed one person throughout a month. If just one person sponsor meals for another less fortunate, then we just need 450 people to reach our goal for this month.

Meet the girl who saved more than 150,000 potential lives and fed more than 2 million people. Meet Jayati, a girl who came from a small town Roorkee in Uttarakhand to become a Chemical Engineer. She was the hope for her family and being the eldest among siblings the most responsible as well. Coming to a big city like Noida was a big thing for her and she was living a difficult life to make her career. Then she found a guy Kiran Verma (me), who was going through a lot in his life. Who was broke at that time, went through many breakups (including 3 failed engagements) and was living a messed up life. I don’t know what she saw in me, but she decided to marry me and we both married (we may debate on happily or not 😂). Then something bad happened when I left my job to start Simply Blood. She gave all her savings to built World’s first virtual blood donation platform. She delivered our son on 11th Jan through C-Section and on 22nd she boarded a train to her home ALONE, with our 11 days young son and all the luggage. Just to let me work on my crazy dream (Nobody should die waiting for blood in India). She took loan to keep #SimplyBlood afloat, which saved more than 75,000 potential lives in 7 years (currently not working). During the lockdown, she allowed me to go out and help people in every possible manner, knowing the life risk involved. Later, during the lockdown, she mortgaged her jewellery to start Change With One Meal and till date the initiative have served more than 2 million meals. Then she allowed me to do a #Walk4Blood awareness and I did a #21000KmsWalk. Which became the longest walk ever for blood donation awareness. People gave me credit for all that, but they missed to see the power behind my every step. She changed me completely. From an carefree person to a responsible man. From a corrupt professional, to an honest social entrepreneur. From a hopeless boy, to a hope for many. She might don’t have a strong resume or promising personality. But she has built a career of an amazing changemaker and the reason behind all these achievements, more than me or my efforts. If I expect to live 65 years, then I have just 25 years to live from now. Today, this lady turned 34 and as many people might know, I don’t wish anyone on occasions. But, I wanted to request you all to bless my lady for a healthy and happy life ahead. So that in my remaining time, I can try to become a better husband and may become something to make her proud, before I leave this world. I am not Ram, but she became my true Sita and changed so many lives meaningfully. I feel blessed to be her worse half and so proud for finding her as my better half. Stay Blessed!

Monthly #support needed! Rs. 12,848 is what we got today against Rs. 5.80 lakhs, which is less than 3% of what we need. We serve this kind of meal to 1000+ people everyday at Change With One Meal for just Rs. 10 The cost per meal comes to Rs.35, and the remaining Rs.25 comes from generous people. We need around 8-9 lakhs (~$10,000) every month to pay all our bills. This month we needed Rs. 8.2 lacs to pay all our dues, and thankfully we raised around 2.4 lakhs extra last month. So we need just 5.8 lakhs this month and we haven’t raised even 3% of our target. Imagine with every 750 contribution we can feed one person for whole month at #changewithonemeal. And if just 800 people donate this much, we can easily meet our target this month to pay all our bills.

Day before yesterday, I went for a birthday party and was invited by my brother amit kumar at #BarbequeNation, Vasant Kunj. Just for the background, they charge around Rs. 1100 for an unlimited meal. While my bhabhi was having some paneer dish, she found a cockroach 🪳 inside. She called the manager and he immediately took that bowl even before anyone of us could take photo or video. Bhabhi left her food right there and couldn’t eat anymore. The manager didn’t do anything and he was acting as if nothing was happened, he didn’t went to talk to anyone in their kitchen. He was roaming around but never bothered about how their customer felt? I saw that huge amount of food being wasted on almost every table. On the other side, we at Change With One Meal serve an unlimited meal for just Rs.10. And I am proud to share that our kitchen or serving area is probably much cleaner than restaurants like Barbeque Nation Hospitality Ltd.. Also there has been not even a single incident where we compromised on such quality standards. And we charge Rs.200 if the food is being wasted. Even if we gets complains about food (like taste, oil, spices, salt etc) WE CARE! We care about our setup, our staff, our customers (or beneficiaries), our standards and the food. The only differentiator between these two is “Intent”. We (#ChangeWithOneMeal) aims to serve and big brands like them focuses only on profits. I know that people running such food chains are way too qualified than me, they have huge experience and have greater business acumen. BUT most of them don’t understand the meaning of #Service. Doesn’t matter if the meal costs 1100 or 10, the most important thing should be “how you treat your customers?” If anyone from the brand cares for their customers, wake up before its too late.

I read this news where Sharan Hegde invested investor’s money (including Nikhil Kamath) of Rs.10 crores in fixed deposits. He gets around 8.5% annually in return as interest. Which is perfectly fine to me (atleast). Now Imagine if initiatives like Change With One Meal gets little more amount than this (~Rs.15 Cr) and the amount is invested in FD. There will be more than 1000 people who can get unlimited meals forever and without even raising any new penny. I think investors who are betting big on startups should also think of #impact #investment to bring #change. Just to give little background, the cost per meal comes to Rs.35 (including all the expenses) and charged Rs.10 from the beneficiaries. The remaining Rs.25 is what is needed to serve one person at #changewithonemeal What’s your thought on this?
