Niramaya Health Foundation

I've recently scanned film I shot while living in Mumbai, India several years ago. While there I volunteered with a nonprofit called Niramaya Health Foundation, a group providing badly needed nutritional supports for preschool children living in Mumbai's slums, as well as a number of community health programs for areas in and around Mumbai. Currently about 43 percent of Indian children are underweight. See recent Sunday NYTimes article on India's malnutrition problem. Niramaya website: www.niramaya.org.
