Roti Ghar
No neighbour should sleep hungry.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHARITY OR PUBLIC DONATIONS. Our monthly ration kits are funded and prepared entirely by our own volunteers, who contribute their time and resources to support families in need. We pack and deliver these kits quietly, consistently, and with dignity.
Our mission
Roti Ghar exists so that no family in our neighbourhood has to choose between rent and a meal. We identify households quietly through people who already know them — teachers, imams, shopkeepers, neighbours. We verify need without interrogation, and we deliver without ceremony. Every kit is logged, every rupee is accounted for, and every family is treated as a guest rather than a case number.
We do not take donations from the public
Roti Ghar operates entirely through its volunteers and members. We do not run public fundraising campaigns and we do not collect money from the general public. If you would like to help, join us as a volunteer or member — your time, your hands and your local knowledge are what this work actually runs on.
How we work
Four steps, repeated every month, by the same people.
1. Identify
Members refer families they personally know. A volunteer visits, confirms the need and records the household size.
2. Pack
Volunteers assemble standard kits — rice, flour, dal, oil, sugar, salt and tea — enough to carry a family through the month.
3. Deliver
Kits are delivered at our Roti ghar center every month
4. Record
Every distribution is logged against the family and the kit, so the next month starts from facts rather than memory.

Give a morning, not money.
Volunteers pack on weekends and deliver on weekday evenings. If you can spare a few hours a month, that is genuinely all we need.
Other ways to support
We accept help in kind — a sack of rice, transport for a delivery run, storage space, or an introduction to a family who needs us. Tell us what you can offer.
About Workrotighar — the Roti Ghar community kitchen
Workrotighar is the online home of Roti Ghar, a volunteer-run community kitchen and ration support initiative built on one plain idea: no neighbour should sleep hungry. What started as a handful of people weighing rice and flour in a borrowed store room is now a steady monthly round of ration kits, carried door to door to households that would otherwise go without. Everything published on this site — the impact figures, the distribution records, the member community — is generated from that ongoing work rather than written for a brochure. The name says what the work is. Roti is bread and ghar is home, so Roti Ghar is meant to be a home where bread is never short. The work itself is deliberately unglamorous and repetitive: find a household, confirm the need quietly, pack a standard kit, deliver it with dignity, and record it so that next month begins from facts instead of memory.
How the work of Roti Ghar reaches a family
Every family supported through Rotighar is referred by somebody who already knows them — a teacher, an imam, a shopkeeper, a neighbour. A volunteer visits, confirms the size of the household and records what is needed, without turning the visit into an interrogation. From there the work follows the same four steps every month: identify, pack, deliver, record. A standard Roti Ghar ration kit is built to carry a family of five for roughly a month: rice, flour, dal, cooking oil, sugar, salt and tea. Kits go to the door at a time the family chooses. There are no queues, no photographs of faces and no conditions attached. Dignity is not something added on top of the work here; it is the work.
Why the Roti Ghar work runs on volunteers, not public donations
Workrotighar does not run public fundraising campaigns and does not collect money from the general public. That is a deliberate policy rather than an oversight. Roti Ghar operates through its own members and volunteers, who give time, transport, storage space, local knowledge and, when they choose to, ration in kind. Keeping it that way keeps the work honest. Every distribution is logged against a family and a kit, every expense is recorded against the member who approved it, and the figures shown on this site are calculated from those records rather than typed in by hand. Members can see the ledger they are part of, which is the only kind of accountability that survives contact with a busy month. Nobody from Roti Ghar will ever ask a member of the public for a bank transfer, a UPI PIN or card details. If somebody does, it is not us.
Work with Rotighar — join the community
Members apply through this site, are approved by an administrator, and then work inside a shared space built for exactly this: a feed for organising packing days, a member directory, ration and distribution records, reminders for the next round, and a running account of who contributed what. Volunteers usually pack at weekends and deliver on weekday evenings, so a few hours a month is genuinely enough to be useful. If you can spare that, apply to volunteer. If you would rather help in kind, offer a sack of rice, a vehicle for a delivery run, dry storage, or an introduction to a family who needs us. And if you came here simply looking for Roti Ghar — the ration kits, the people, the monthly round, the work — this is the whole of it, kept in one place. Workrotighar is where it lives, and it is open to anybody willing to show up.
