its various projects. There are 11 members in the Board of Directors of the

The food bank
It is petty that food bank is non profitable and charity forum while hunger and
poverty is prevailing on a very large scale. Despite the unprecedented
scientific developments human race is suffering from the same unprecedented
level of hunger and poverty. According to the American Dietetic Association
position statement on " hunger and poverty ", one billion - world
population has sunk in the deep sea of hunger and poverty. Ironically in
Pakistan, 35% of Pakistani population is living below poverty level and underfed
as compared to 20% of world population. This is why Pakistan Dietetic &
Nutrition Association (PDNA) has taken up such an uphill task with the approval
of its Internationally reputed nutrition experts. Details plan is as follows:

infections, morbidity and mortality.
