The Mobile Food Unit

The mobile food unit, popularly known as Jaya Bal Bhojan, distributes meals to around 250 homeless children in Kathmandu on one day every week. Every Saturday Dr. Suddha Rauniya, the founder of this mobile service, and his small team travel around key locations in the city where street children are most likely to be found and give out food packets. These meals are high in nutritional value and try to cater to the tastes of the children.

The mobile service was initiated several years ago and since August 2008 has been supported by The Street Children of Nepal Trust. Dr. Rauniya and his team also run The Children’s Food Programme which provides up to two hot meals every day for between 40 and 60 street children at a fixed location in Kathmandu.
