GABRIEL PROJECT MUMBAI

GABRIEL PROJECT MUMBAI GABRIEL PROJECT MUMBAI (GPM) IS AN INNOVATIVE AND COMPASSIONATE RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEMS OF POVERTY, HUNGER, ILLITERACY, MALNUTRITION AND CHILD LABOR. IN THE MUMBAI SLUMS, CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS FOUR YEARS OLD, FACED WITH ACUTE POVERTY, ARE OFTEN SENT TO WORK AS RAG PICKERS AND SEWAGE CLEANERS RATHER THAN ATTEND SCHOOL IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A FEW RUPEES TO PAY FOR FOOD. THE GPM SOLUTION IS POWERFUL AND SIMPLE: EAT AND LEARN. BY PROVIDING DAILY NUTRITIOUS MEALS TO CHILDREN ATTENDING CLASS, GPM ENSURES THAT CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE HUNGER RELIEF AND LITERACY. GPM THUS ADDRESSES BOTH THE IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM NEEDS OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN, ALLEVIATING HUNGER WHILE FACILITIATING THE PATH TOWARDS EDUCTION WHICH IS A KEY FACTOR IN CHANGING THEIR LIVES.
