pappadavada

Here are five compassionate Samaritans who took it upon themselves to fight hunger and feed thousands of underprivileged people.

From feeding the needy to offering jobs to the differently-abled, these unique Indian 'cafes with a cause' are dedicated to making the world a better, more inclusive place.

Minu Pauline, owner of Pappadavada in Kochi, started the public fridge initiative to feed the homeless and utilise excess food, called Nanma Maram.
