A Mission to End Hunger
Hunger is one of the most pressing issues in India, and Hyderabad is no exception. Every day, thousands of people—patients, daily wage workers, orphans, and the homeless—struggle to find even one nutritious meal. While development and progress are visible in many areas, the harsh reality is that hunger continues to plague countless lives. This is where Humanity First Foundation (HFF) steps in with its unwavering mission: to ensure that no one goes to bed hungry.
Since its humble beginnings in 2016, HFF has become one of the most impactful NGOs in Hyderabad, feeding 1000+ people daily without missing a single day. From hospitals to orphanages and from roadside communities to disaster-hit areas, HFF’s food distribution programs have transformed hunger relief into a movement of compassion.
The Birth of Humanity First Foundation
The story of Humanity First Foundation is deeply inspiring. Founded by Dr. Mohd Sujathullah, a Doctor of Pharmacy by profession, the journey began with a single act of kindness. With his own pocket money, he served rice and curry to the poor near Secunderabad Railway Station in 2016. The overwhelming response of hungry people rushing for food left him humbled and determined to do more.
What started as one meal grew into a structured initiative. Over the years, HFF has served more than 10 million meals, never stopping even during floods, storms, or Covid-19 lockdowns. Today, it stands as a beacon of hope, proving that kindness and perseverance can change lives.
Daily Breakfast Drives at Government Hospitals
One of the most remarkable initiatives by HFF is the Daily Breakfast Program. Every morning, the team serves fresh, nutritious meals to patients and their families outside major government hospitals in Hyderabad.
- At Niloufer Hospital, around 600 people benefit daily.
- At Koti Maternity Hospital, nearly 300 meals are served.
- At NIMS Hospital, another 300 meals are provided.
Together, these drives ensure that over 1000 patients and their attendants start their day with a wholesome meal. For many families traveling long distances for treatment, this breakfast becomes their lifeline, offering both nutrition and comfort.
Evening Food Distribution: Fighting Hunger After Dark
HFF’s work doesn’t end with breakfast. Through its Daily Dinner Distribution Program, the foundation ensures that surplus food from weddings, functions, and events is collected and redistributed to those who need it most.
Volunteers often work late into the night, collecting food after events and transporting it to slums, orphanages, and homeless shelters. Quality checks are performed to ensure safety, and the meals are distributed within hours. By tackling both hunger and food wastage, HFF creates a cycle of sustainability and compassion.
Supporting Orphans and Vulnerable Communities
Beyond hospital drives and dinner distributions, Humanity First Foundation also extends its efforts to orphanages and children’s homes. Many of these institutions lack the resources to provide nutritious meals daily. HFF fills this gap by supplying healthy food and supporting their essential expenses.
In addition, the foundation provides aid to widows, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups, ensuring they are not left behind. The philosophy is simple yet powerful: every individual deserves dignity, food, and care, regardless of their background.
Healthcare and Humanity: Beyond Food Distribution
While food remains the core of HFF’s mission, the foundation has expanded into healthcare with initiatives like the Humanity Free Dialysis Centre and Humanity Hospital. The free dialysis program has saved countless lives of patients struggling with kidney disease who cannot afford costly treatments.
By combining food security and healthcare support, Humanity First Foundation ensures holistic care for the underprivileged—because hunger and illness often go hand in hand.
The Power of Consistency: Service Since 2016
What makes HFF truly unique is its unbroken commitment. Since 2016, the foundation has served meals every single day, crossing thousands of consecutive days of service. Neither heavy rains nor pandemic lockdowns stopped the mission. This consistency is what sets HFF apart—charity is not an occasional act but a way of life.
The community has also rallied around the cause. Individuals, schools, and corporates contribute donations and volunteer time, proving that when people come together, miracles happen.
Impact in Numbers
- 10+ million meals served since 2016

Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals
Humanity First Foundation’s work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger. By addressing hunger directly and sustainably, HFF contributes to global progress in fighting poverty, malnutrition, and inequality. The foundation also contributes to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) through its free healthcare initiatives.

By serving 1000+ meals daily and never missing a single day since 2016, HFF redefines the true meaning of service and compassion. Hunger can be eradicated, but only if society comes together. Humanity First Foundation is leading the way—one meal, one patient, one act of kindness at a time.
