In March 21st, I decided that because our business is closed and I saw that people in the slums are having difficulty getting food because a lot of people already lost their jobs way back in March. We started in a small way to start feeding a few families in the slums.

Itch hamper contains nafood to last a family of at least 4 people for a period of 14 days. In the packet we put a balanced diet, which we have talked about to the Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Food Program. We have four kilos of uta, four kilos of chapati fla, two kilos of mandazi fla, We have 4 kilos of beans which are very good protein. We have sugar and rice for energy. We have some tea for early mornings. We give fresh bread to the areas. We have hot chocolate for children. We put in good quality bensari to put in the beans. And it's very good for the throat. We put in salt. And the whole package goes together. We put in sanitary towels also for ladies. Whole package is going together. It weighs about 16 kilos each. And they go to a family. It should last a family of 4 for about 14 days because they are still able to supplement a little bit of vegetables which they can buy locally. When we do have vegetables, like when we get vegetables today, we are going to get 3,000 cabbage. We will take 3,000 cabbage to Islam. And our volunteers will hold the truck there. Then make people, we put spray on people's finger and give one one cabbage to everybody. Like you go for walking. Unfortunately we have to do this for food. But we will put a little bit of spray. And anybody who comes without the sprayed finger will get a cabbage. So today we are going to do that in Mathari. Tomorrow we will do that in Kibira. So 3,000 cabbage we will give. I think this week we will give about 9,000 cabbage. Pankaj, who's philanthropic action, was triggered by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. But he reminds me that this is not where it all began. He recalls of how he accidentally met Mother Teresa Samiazbak in Nairobi and how this encounter changes entire life. I have been affiliated to Mother Teresa's home since 1989 when I first met Mother Teresa herself in Kenya. And I met her by accident, real accident. One of the wheels of their car came out and hit my new car. And that's how I met her. But my car wasn't damaged. So I took her to her home in Pruma that was the first home that they had in Kenya. I took her to the home in Pruma and that's how I started. Then in 1989 I went to work in Calcutta with her for three months. And that's when I got this humbling experience of life. I've been supporting Nairobi home for a long time. My eldest daughter is adopted from her home in India. She's right now, she was born in Nagpur. She lived in Nairobi. She did her schooling in Nairobi. And now she's in New York studying drama and silver screen acting and singing. With a well-versed knowledge of the shanties which are his target areas and good mapping Pankajandi's team are assured of a smooth operation. We have full maps of slums so we know exactly which area we are going to. So we cover one area, we don't go back there. We cover another area, we don't go back there for 14-14 days. And after 14 days we'll go back to the people. So this is the map that we are using. This is the map of Kayola slum. This is the map of Madara slum. And you see all the yellow places are covered. They've been done by us. So this place is remaining. These places are going to be done today. And within two or three days we'll have sorted out the whole of Mathare. So every home in Mathare will have received a parcel from us of food. Wherever we are going in. So we are doing it very, very professionally, very, very nicely and we are very, very fair. Whether you believe in religion, whether you are a Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Shia, Sunni we are completely secular. Everybody gets food. We don't deny anybody of food because of religion, colour, caste, creed, tribe, nothing. Everybody gets food. This is our motto and our policy. Whether you are coming from Turkana or whether you are coming from Kisumu or Siaya or whether you are coming from Uqambani we give food to everybody. No caste, no creed, everything. So you see we are doing everything that we are doing. We are marking so that we know what we are going to do even tomorrow. We go from door to door. The most vulnerable ones we put a red sticker on their door. So Shosho, Babu, single mothers with children. People who are disabled, they get a red sticker on their door. They get the food first. Then the second is yellow stickers. These are mothers who may be alone or a small family who don't have a job. And then whoever has a job we give them food last. So those people who get food late and this is the reason why some of these places like this is very near, easily. So these people had a job. Now they don't have a job. So they are going to get covered this week. As we continue with our conversation Pankaj tries to paint a clear picture of the typical families residing in these shanties. Matari is very near Isli. Isli is the heart of business in Nairobi. Until the lockdown the people of Matari have been having a little bit of job to do. They have got a little bit of... because of all the Somalis living in Isli the women were able to go and wash clothes for the Somalis, keep their homes clean and stuff. Now that has stopped. So Matari is now facing a lot of trouble. Take Kwa Ruben, Kwa Jenga and Mukuru Main Slam which is Kayaba, Kwa Tanyayo, Songabele, Masai and St. Catherine. All those people work in industrial area. Now 70% of the businesses in industrial area are slowed down. Lot of factories are closed and they have laid off the people especially all the casual workers. So they have laid off all the people and then Imaradaima is a big estate so the women used to go and work in Imaradaima. Now people from government are at home they are not working also. So those people don't need maids to work for them. They are doing their own clothes washing and everything themselves. So the maids have lost work. Husband and wife have both lost jobs. So children have nothing to eat. Take a family of 5 people that we sometimes get in a slum. They haven't eaten for up to 2-3 days. So when we go there we make them very very happy. I am keen to know whether he has encountered any challenges and as it turns out he surely has. A little bit of challenge that we face is with some machineries of government but the COVID relief task force is absolutely fantastic. They are working very well with us. The Kenya police are fantastic. They are giving us a lot of support. The government in general is giving us a lot of support. Once or twice we encountered some chiefs who are difficult but we manage them. The businessman who would have been guiding tourists around the beautiful land of Kenya or conducting his safari rallies instead shares with us about poverty eradication methods as he has come to observe and conclude through his vast experience in Kenya's demographics. We have to take people back to the rural areas and make life better for them there so that we remove a lot of people from the slums in Nairobi. We start big farming initiatives so that people don't have to live in Nairobi. They can live there in the rural areas where they'll be able to get self-dependency or people have to also be taught a lot of vocation. Government has to start cleaning up the slum areas and put good initiatives of slum eradication programs where people get a better place to live in where there's sanitization, water and solar electricity supply. Like every government in Africa we have a population boom so we are suffering with all of that but over time I am sure with the new younger people in government they are going to help they are going to do that. You see a lot of changes already a lot of people have cars the same way over the next 10 years I know that Kenya will change drastically and move itself up to a much better level. As a way of adding value to the country's economy Pankaj uses the donations made and all the relevant materials locally. When we get donations we buy them from Kenyan farmers and Kenyan producers except for things like nappies and stuff which may be imported but this one is all locally made we don't do any products which are imported and they might have a shelf life which is expiring we give produce which has got a minimum of 6 months of shelf life and we try to procure everything from Kenya because we want the Kenyan industry to do well. So even masks we are making you will see my mask is saying Kenya all of us our masks are saying Kenya we do everything locally. His right hand man Mr Vikal Shah aka Junior armed with tools and experiential knowledge takes pride in his crucial role as a key man in team Pankaj I am basically the logistics person here I send out goods out and in I receive the goods coming in and sending out we have a team so far we have got Melissa here behind me she is the one who does the whole the plan for every day sending which truck to where the goods are going out the food hampers and then we have got 5 trucks which have been donated by well wishes we use the 5 trucks to send out the goods every day we send about 1,000 to 1,500 hampers a day I notice that this charity organization calls for total dedication as Junior takes me through his daily schedule in regards to the operation My day starts very early in the morning 6 o'clock I go to the slums with Mr Pankaj we see how it's there how is the situation and then we come here by 8 by 8.30 the trucks leave so the trucks only loaded a day before so 8.30 they'll go they come back and then if they got any more deliveries we'll send it out in afternoon and we finish here by 5.36 and then at times we are here till 7 as well just sorting out some other logistics because at times we have issues with the place where it's supposed to go the roads are very narrow so it makes it difficult for the trucks to go out to the right place As Pankaj thanks all on the list of his mission and his future plans he is also asking everyone with the goodwill to support the program in whichever way possible The main people I'd like to thank once again and I'd like to thank God Almighty and our beloved President Uhuru for bearing with us for allowing us to do what we want to do and for allowing us to help the people of Kenya His office is giving us immense support all the ministers the Cabinet Secretary is giving us good support especially Mr Matiangi Mr Kaguwe and Ambassador Ramina they are giving us very good support and we are going ahead What I'd like to tell all the Kenyans right now is to come out come out of their homes those who still have a job bankers, lawyers everybody who still has a job to please come forward just give us 1500 shillings to Tim Pankaj and we'll feed a family of 4 people in 24 hours of their giving us this money they can send it to our pay bill 507 4087 and what I'd like everybody to come out is to rescue every Kenyan in the slum over the COVID era and then we should all work together to cut out any corruption that we have we should all come out and bring a new Kenya into this world so that we become the best country in Africa Kavyu name on hearts not on tombstones a legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you Pankaj clearly mastered the art of giving not because he has so much to give but because he knows the beauty of sharing the little that he has
