Join Hands With Syed Gulab To Give Free Meals To Hundreds Of Underprivileged People In Bangalore.

The second wave of the pandemic has been a difficult time for everyone. Bangalore saw a sudden increase in cases and people were left scrambling for hospital beds, oxygen supplies and even food. It also took a huge toll on those people who strive every day to make a change in society. Syed Gulab, a resident of Bangalore, has been struggling  to continue his work of helping the vulnerable during the pandemic. Even though it was tough, he did everything he could to help them eat.

Ever since the lockdown this year, Gulab has distributed over 5000 grocery kits to daily wage labourers in Bangalore. But despite his best efforts, he’s struggling to continue feeding them now. The pandemic is ongoing, and these vulnerable communities continue to suffer.

How it all began?

Syed Gulab has worked hard all his life. He was only a young boy when his father passed away, and he had to start working as an automobile spray-painter to feed his family. The hardships were plenty, but Gulab never gave up. With his hard work and dedication, he became an insurance agent. 

While his niece was admitted to a hospital in Bangalore, he couldn’t help but notice all the families around him that were struggling to afford even one meal a day. They had come from far off villages in the hope to save their loved ones - but every single rupee mattered, so they spent days going hungry. Gulab knew he had to do something. It was then that Roti Charity Trust came to being.

 

However the pandemic has made the situation very tough

Syed Gulab had started serving free meals to the attendants and relatives of patients outside government hospitals in Bangalore. It’s been 4 years since, and Gulab continues to serve breakfast and lunch to over 350 people every day. 

However, it hasn’t been easy for Gulab to continue this selfless work, especially during this pandemic phase. There were days when he couldn’t afford to make the meals. He had no choice but to sell his own belongings to ensure that the hundreds of people queuing up for his food didn't go hungry.

“They are all my family now. But the pandemic has proven to be a big hurdle for me. It’s getting difficult to continue doing the work I want to. And if I stop, I’m worried that all these people won’t even have that one meal to eat,” says Syed Gulab

 

With your help, Syed Gulab can continue serving free meals to hundreds of poor people every day.
