Global Philanthropic Report 2019 - SECT, VKF & Go2C

Our Involvement
Go2C facilitated bringing in the CFO of Megaware, a Thailand-based MNC, to help BBH serve
those in need. Over 829 persons (children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities) were
touched and are leading transformed lives. Below we share all that this giving could help impact.
Through this support, BBH is able to provide eggs daily to children attending 40 Anganwadi
centres in Rural Bangalore. Over 12-16000 eggs are distributed each month across the 40
Anganwadi Centers as part of the early childhood care program. The distribution happens in
Ward 40 of the DJ Halli Slum to little about 800 children at an average of around 20 eggs per
center. The supplementary feeding provided has improved the nutritional and health status of
children. Regular reviews have shown significant reduction in illness perhaps due to better
resistance to infections. Many caregivers and parents of children are hence very happy to receive
something that they cannot afford for their children even on a weekly basis. Further, the
attendance of children at the Anganwadi Centers has drastically improved.
BBH was able to build 14 toilets custom made for people with disabilities (PWD) and families who
struggled for a lifetime to relieve themselves in a toilet. Having provided them with adequate
training, this has become an immense relief to them, taking away the embarrassment of having
to go for open-air defecation and also to wait till it’s dark. This has created stories of change in
their community.
