This is the belief that guides the trustees of The Health For You Foundation. With the support of the generous residents of Mumbai, this endeavour to ‘Give’ has grown into a Movement to ensure everyone—especially those who cannot afford it—has access to nutritious, good-quality food.
In 2008, Naini Setalvad received the ‘Help Your Body’ the Piramal Healthcare Campaign – award from Dr. A.P.J. Adbul Kalam, where she promised to make “Healthy Food, Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Nation,” a reality. This led to the formation of The Health For You Foundation under Trusteeship of Solicitor Kanchan Pamnani and Kranti Setalvad. After Kranti Setalvad’s demise, Naini Setalvad was appointed as co-trustee. Economist Amartya Sen wrote ‘The economy of the country can improve if one improves the food.’
To uphold the motto and provide well-balanced meals, the Foundation inducted Dietitian Priyanka Shah to oversee the nutritional planning, along with Mona Shah and Roshan Sahu. We must highlight: sometimes, giving is not about reaching farther — it is simply about looking closer. Let us remember the people who are already a part of our everyday lives. Feed your staff the same nutritious food you would serve your own family. Offer them good-quality clothes and household goods with the spirit of – ‘looking after those who have looked after you’.
With the above agenda we are focusing on feeding slum children via their schools, tutorial classes in and around Malabar Hill. It is easy to donate fried snacks and sweets because they are convenient. Please join us in making a conscious effort to give good food that’s good for them.
The Health For you Foundation serves fruits, milk, buttermilk and non-fried -steamed, roasted snacks like upma, poha, idli, sandwiches, bhel, pizza, pav-bhaji, biryani etc. Additionally, the foundation is providing Ration kits to terminally ill patients, HIV, Cancer, Visually, Physically and Mentally handicapped individuals, Aged unemployed women and Pregnant women with the aim of nourishing both mother and child.
Full- balanced meals of vegetable, dal, rice, roti are served weekly to destitute villagers along the Maharashtra-Gujarat border. We are grateful that the Malabar Hill Community – known for its generosity, has gotten together to support us. We are condent that they will help us keep the tradition of giving alive. We look forward to more participants joining us in our efforts. If you wish to volunteer, donate or support The Health For You Foundation,
