Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 86 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 58% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Dhaka market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $210
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $135
• Baby formula and diapers: $40
• Refrigeration and electricity: $15
With deep gratitude,
Maliha
Updates from Maliha
Update from Dhaka: the plan for baby formula and diapers is now scheduled. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) the plan for fresh vegetables and fruit is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you the best, Maliha. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Birmingham
Praying for you, Maliha. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts, Maliha. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
