What we provide

Three categories of support

Each beneficiary receives assistance tailored to their specific circumstances.

Cooked Food

Prepared meals delivered to beneficiaries who are unable to cook — due to physical limitations, lack of cooking facilities, or illness. Meals are sourced from vetted food vendors with high hygiene standards.

Once or twice daily · Up to 2 months per cycle

The process

From registration
to first meal

  1. Registration

    An authorised SSVP member fills in the beneficiary registration form, capturing personal details, eligibility criteria, and preferred meal type.

  2. Review & Approval

    Society members review the submission in a scheduled meeting. The President and Secretary verify eligibility, confirm meal category, and set the duration of assistance.

  3. Confirmation & Delivery

    Once approved, the beneficiary is notified with their start date, meal schedule, and assigned logistics partner. Deliveries begin as confirmed.

Beneficiary eligibility

  • No support system

    People who lack a support network — including orphans and children from families with no means of providing a minimum food ration.

  • Homeless, sick, or elderly

    Homeless individuals with no food access, and sick or elderly persons with no or limited support from family members.

    Anyone who is unable to feed themselves and requires daily assistance with food due to physical disability or other severe circumstances.
