The poorest people in India are among the most hard-hit groups whose lives have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a contribution to alleviate food insecurity, the Dr. Majeed Foundation, started by Sabinsa founder Muhammed Majeed and funded by the Sami-Sabinsa Group, donated 5,500 ten-kilogram bags of rice to people in Magadi, Karnataka on Sept. 24.
The event was organized in partnership with the Kempegowda Development Committee, and benefitted more than 5,000 people. Madhu Subramanian, director of the Sami-Sabinsa group, and Karnataka President Dr. H. M. Krishnamurthy, a member of the Kempegowda Development Committee, both inaugurated the event and participated in the distribution.
“The poorest people in India have been hardest hit during this pandemic, so I wanted to help,” Majeed said. “While many of the foundation’s programs are focused upon helping poor children receive an education so they can have a brighter future, right now, they are just trying to survive. I’m glad to be able to help these families.”
