Building Libraries
It has been proven that reading not only develops the mind and imagination but also broadens perspectives, opens one to diversity, builds acceptance and accommodation of differences and most critically, ensures that future generations are aware & enlightened.
Food4Thought Foundation believes in igniting a Reading Revolution-where reading, for pleasure or otherwise, becomes a regular & lifetime habit across a wide range of the population, cutting across age, gender, geography, caste, creed, religion or economics.
We are thankful to every Donor and Volunteer for achieving 100+ libraries , Today Food4thoughtfoundation is spread in 17 states and 49 cities with a contribution of 27246 books.

Save Endangered Stories We at Food 4 Thought Foundation believe in this age of fast life, we are losing touch with our past. One of the everlasting strengths of our culture has been its ethos which has been passed over centuries through folklore & stories, and with each passing day these stories are getting in lost in maze of unwarranted data & information
Project Save Endangered Story focuses on recording & saving endangered stories, folklore etc . which are being passed through generations and are now facing a possible of extinction. These recorded stories will also be digitised and be available for wider circulation & references through e-Library
