Naveen Fernandez-Project Hope

About Me

With 24 years of experience in the corporate sector, I have been involved in the RAAH Feeding Program by Project HOPE since 2016. During this time, I have witnessed the severe hardships faced by children, women, and young mothers on the streets of Mumbai—abuse, exploitation, lack of shelter, and the daily struggle to find food. The RAAH Feeding Program has a clear mission: to provide nourishment, restore dignity, and inspire change. By reaching vulnerable individuals through food, we aim to transform lives, foster hope, and help them strive for a better future. This initiative is more than just providing meals—it’s about creating a foundation for dignity and empowerment. I am committed to raising support for this impactful cause and invite you to join us in making a difference. Together, we can bring food, hope, and opportunity to those who need it most.

Appeal

Every Sunday, the RAAH Feeding Program by Project HOPE brings children together for a wholesome, protein-rich meal. Carefully prepared dishes like dal, chicken, eggs, rice, and roti are served with respect, ensuring dignity for every child. But this program is more than just a meal. It’s a gateway to change. The programme creates a safe space to identify vulnerable children, address their educational needs, and protect them from abuse. Through songs, stories, and games, it fosters values like respect, purpose, and the power of education, paving the way for a bright future. The program’s impact is clear. Nine children have already been sent to boarding schools, with more to follow. One inspiring story is a boy who, after earning a Mechatronics diploma, is now employed and aspiring to pursue further studies overseas. Your support makes these life-changing efforts possible. Together, we can continue to nourish both body and spirit, offering not just meals but the hope and opportunity every child deserves.
Join us in building a future where no child is left behind.
