Join us for the Curry for a child Challenge
Fall 2024
The Curry for a Child Challenge is bringing people together to feed 15 vulnerable children living in Kolkata, India for an entire year. Each team is tasked with raising $400, which provides nutritious foods for one child for one year through our wonderful partners at the Indian Society for the Rehabilitation of Children (ISRC) in Kolkata.
ALL THE DETAILS
Gather a team of family members, friends, co-workers, or anyone you’d like!
Set a $ goal to provide nutritious meals for a child in West Bengal, India! $50 feeds 1 child for 1 month. We need to feed 15 children for 2025!
Start your team’s fundraiser on Chuffed. Go HERE or click the orange button below. Share it as early as possible, share it far and wide with everyone you know! If you had 12 people donate just $50 (or 24 people donate $25 each), you’d be able to feed 1 child for all of 2025!
Pick a date anytime in October or November to gather with your team and eat curry.
Post about the Curry for a Child Challenge on social media frequently so others will be inspired to join the Curry for a Child Challenge, and so we can feed more children!
any day you choose in October
