A Secular Food Giving Hand for Humanity
Annam Idum Kai Foundation is a secular, non-religious charitable organisation dedicated to eradicating hunger and supporting the poor and needy through structured humanitarian service. We are committed to building a compassionate society where no one is left behind due to poverty, food insecurity, or lack of basic care. Based in Pallavaram, Chennai, our foundation works directly with communities by providing food support and welfare initiatives with dignity and respect.
Registered as a Section 8 Company under the Companies Act, 2013, we operate with strong values of transparency, accountability, compassion, and inclusiveness. Our goal is not only to serve meals, but also to create long-term change by encouraging volunteer participation, community involvement, and sustainable partnerships that strengthen society.
Our Mission
To build a hunger-free society where every child and every individual has access to nutritious food and an opportunity to live with dignity.
Our Vision
To provide nutritious meals, encourage education, and support poor and needy communities through sustainable food and relief programmes.
Impact With Integrity
Though young, our impact is growing with the support of kind hearts
Though Annam Idum Kai Foundation is still growing, our impact is already reaching many lives through the support of kind-hearted donors, volunteers, and community members. Every meal we serve is not just food — it is relief, hope, and dignity for someone who is struggling.
Through our consistent humanitarian efforts, we have supported children, families, and individuals across Pallavaram and various parts of Chennai, ensuring that hunger does not become a barrier to education, health, or survival.
- Hundreds of children receiving meal support
- Regular food drives across Chennai
- Increased school attendance where meals are provided
- Relief feeding during difficult times
Why this work matters
For many children, the meal we provide is the only proper meal of the day. That one plate of food means:
For many underprivileged children, hunger is not an occasional problem — it is a daily reality. A hungry child cannot focus in class. A hungry person cannot work with strength. Hunger silently affects education, health, confidence, and the future of an entire family.
For many children we support, the meal we provide is often the only proper meal of the day. That one plate of food becomes their strength to attend school, their energy to learn, and their motivation to dream bigger.
- Energy to sit through classes
- Strength to play and grow
- Hope to continue education
- A step away from child labour
