Rozi Roti Foundation was born out of a sincere belief that that everyone has a right to the basic necessities of life and that the society has a responsibility to take care of the poor and the destitute. The foundation works specifically with the urban destitute – homeless and slum dwellers in Indian cities. Our mission is to "enable access to basic necessities of life, to those who need it the most."
