The Akshaya Patra Foundation USA, one of the largest school lunch providers in the world, is pleased to announce a new partnership with, Massachusetts-based, Abris.io as AP USA declared their first offering of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) at their New England gala on May 1st, 2022. By using NFTs, Akshaya Patra is setting a precedent to harness the full potential of technologies to effect positive change.
Through the organization’s flagship Midday Meal program, this new partnership will address low school enrollment & attendance rates; low socialization rates between different castes and poor nutrition for some of the most underserved children in India.

Priya Samant, Abris.io CEO and Co-Founder said, “It is our honor and privilege to get an opportunity to support a great organization like Akshaya Patra, to propel its vision of ensuring that hunger is never a barrier to a child’s education. NFTs are community-driven; by using the innovative medium of NFTs for fundraising, nonprofits can reach out to a global user base and build strong communities for their cause.
“We are really excited to partner with Abris.io, a leading utility NFT company, to raise funds for Akshaya Patra. This initiative enhances our ability to raise funds from a diversified portfolio of funding opportunities, enabling us to support the 1.8 million underserved Indian children going to school this year.” said Navin Goel, Akshaya Patra Foundation USA, CEO.
