GEO Roti Ghar - An Initiative to make a change

Geo Roti Ghar is  a NON-Profit organisation and aims to satiate the hunger of people. To attain this goal, our team is purely dedicated towards the service of poor and needy people. We believe that one day we will finally reach a stage where no one is devoid of basic food at least twice a day.

You too can help us in our initiative by contributing.  So join our team by making a small contribution towards the betterment of people.

Geo Roti Ghar not only helps feed the hunger of humans but also strays all across Mumbai. From just a few to over 5000 food packets are daily distributed.

As the crisis around the COVID-19 pandemic grows, the livelihoods of a large number of families surviving on daily wages have been shaken up. We have ensured to provide food support to such families and to help them have a reliable supply of meals in the absence of employment opportunities.

Geo Roti Ghar has recently started two new initiatives :

1) Employment for Women 

2) Feeding the Stray Animals 

Not only the have the above been done but GEO Roti Ghar has had immensely good response and has recently also been able to help our courageous army (SION-Matunga Police Station Officials , RTO Officials , MCGM Officials and many more..) with packets of dry fruits , have fed over 3500 individuals in slums across mumbai and also distributed over 1100 grocery kits to needy individuals.

Close to a billion people – one-eighth of the world’s population – still live in hunger. Each year 2 million children die through malnutrition. This is happening at a time when doctors in India are fighting to save lives.. We are eating too fancy while others are starving.”

Now is the time for all of us to join hands and be a part of this together.
