Rahmah Foundation Brings Monthly Grocery Relief  Work to Remote Villages in West Bengal

West Bengal, India – April 2025

In the quiet corners of West Bengal, far removed from the reach of bustling cities and basic infrastructure, a silent revolution of compassion is taking root. The Rahmah Foundation, a non-profit organization driven by empathy and community service, has been consistently delivering monthly grocery donations to some of the most underprivileged and remote villages in the region.

These areas, often disconnected from main roads and lacking access to government relief or employment opportunities, are home to families who struggle daily to secure even a basic meal. Through its ongoing Monthly Grocery Donation initiative, the Rahmah Foundation is helping to change that—one food package at a time.

Reaching the Unreachable

Volunteers from the foundation often travel hours—sometimes by boat, foot, or on rugged motorbikes—to reach the target villages nestled deep in forested or riverine areas. These are places where public transport is non-existent, healthcare is a luxury, and food security is a constant concern.

Each month, the foundation distributes essential grocery kits consisting of rice, pulses, flour, cooking oil, sugar, salt, tea, and basic spices. Where possible, the kits are customized to local dietary needs and family sizes.

A Lifeline for the Forgotten

For many families, especially widows, elderly individuals, and those with disabilities, this monthly support serves as a critical lifeline. In villages like Nayagram, Jhargram, and parts of the Sundarbans, where seasonal employment is scarce and natural calamities often compound poverty, Rahmah Foundation’s donations have brought not just sustenance but hope.

“This is not just about giving food,” says a local coordinator of the foundation. “It’s about reminding these families that they are not forgotten—that someone cares.”

Community Engagement and Dignity

What sets the Rahmah Foundation apart is its people-first approach. Volunteers often engage with villagers to understand their needs, maintain dignity during distribution, and build trust. They organize small community gatherings to ensure equal and transparent distribution, avoiding favoritism or exploitation.

In many villages, the arrival of the Rahmah team has become a source of joy and reassurance—children greet them with smiles, and elders offer blessings and stories.

Looking Ahead

With the success of the Monthly Grocery Donation drive, the foundation is now exploring the possibility of expanding its services to include basic medical check-ups, educational supplies for children, and vocational support for women.

“We believe in long-term impact,” says the founder of Rahmah Foundation. “Food is the first step, but empowerment is the goal.”

The foundation relies entirely on donations and the dedication of its volunteers. Every contribution—no matter how small—helps sustain this vital work.
