Annadaata Sukhi Bhava.
In Sanskrit, it means: may the one who gives food be blessed with happiness.
It is more than a blessing. It is a way of understanding what feeding someone really means,that it is an act of care, of attention, of saying quietly and without condition: you matter. You deserve to be nourished.
That is the heart of Project Annapurna.
What We Do
Project Annapurna is a meal sponsorship programme. Individuals, families, and groups sponsor fresh, nutritious meals for the communities we serve, marking birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, or simply a day they wanted to do something good.
The meals are humble by design. Cooked fresh, served with love and care.
In 2025-2026, through the generosity of our sponsors, Project Annapurna delivered 15,000meals across multiple orphanages/care homes.
Why Meals Mean More Than Nutrition
Hunger is rarely only physical.
It says: someone outside these walls is paying attention. There is a community that sees you.
When a family sponsors a meal in memory of a loved one, celebrate a birthday or any joyous occasion, they are weaving their grief, their gratitude, their happiness, into something that nourishes.
How to Be Part of It
Sponsoring a meal through Project Annapurna is one of the clearest ways to contribute to BFL’s work.
If you would like to sponsor a meal for a birthday, an anniversary, a remembrance, or simply because you would love to, we would love to hear from you.
Annadaata Sukhi Bhava. May you be blessed for the food you give.
