Anjappam: Making Clean and Healthy Food Accessible to All
In a heartwarming initiative that reaffirms faith in humanity, Bobby Jose Kattikad from Kerala started a project called Anjappam, which aims to provide food to economically disadvantaged sections of society. Anjappam is a chain of economic restaurants located in Pathanamthitta, Ranni, Neyyatinkara, and Changanassery that serve a noble cause.
Unlike traditional charity where food is served for free, Anjappam charges a nominal amount of Rs 25 per meal. However, the initiative does not compel anyone to pay and welcomes those who cannot afford the cost to enjoy the food without any charge. Additionally, Anjappam accepts any amount of payment, even if it is less than Rs 25, as they value the intention behind the contribution.
What sets Anjappam apart is their unique approach to accepting payments. Instead of a billing counter, they have a contribution box where patrons can offer any amount they wish after having their meal. This money is then used to provide clean and healthy eating spaces, along with locally sourced and hygienically prepared vegetarian food.
Anjappam holds hunger as the primary need of every individual and believes in making food accessible to all, irrespective of their financial condition. Their dedication extends beyond providing meals. According to their website, Anjappam transforms into reading spaces with libraries in the evenings, with books donated by patrons. It truly welcomes everyone, regardless of their caste, creed, religion, sex, age, disability, income, or background.
The initiative has received widespread appreciation and attention for its compassionate approach to combating hunger and promoting inclusivity. Anjappam has become a beacon of hope, proving that humanity, compassion, love, and empathy still exist in our world.
