കാരുണ്യത്തിന്റെ മന്ന
(Feed The Hungry)
This is where it all began. This program is mainly directed toward the patients and their bystanders of Kozhikode Medical College, Chest Hospital, and Beach Hospital. This is a venture to provide a meal for them once a day throughout the year. We launched Mercy-365 programme to support this project.
In addition to providing food for patients and by-standers daily, ZMART foundation has also aided many efforts to feed the hungry as situation arose. During the initial days of the covid pandemic, as hotels and restaurants closed in and around Medical college hospital, Kozhikode, ZMART foundation took up the job to provide food for covid patients, doctors and other health care workers at the hospital. ZMART has also provided grocery kits to families who had lost their incomes during the pandemic.

We also provide laptops for meritorious students in Professional colleges and degree courses to support their education. At the beginning of each school year we provide a school kit containing school bag, books, tiffin boxes and other stationaries for kids from schools in tribal regions of Kerala.
