The food packet, that she calls “food for humanity”, contains chickpeas, dried milk, and lots of vitamins. It only costs seventeen cents to produce one packet. These packets also do not have to be refrigerated or require water to take. It only took three food technologists from India and Pakistan to produce such a packet. These packets have already changed the life of many children who received them.
