The beginning · Vellore

Sharing food outside a hospital

While working in India, founder Steven Anandan began distributing boiled eggs from the hotel where he stayed to people outside the hospital. When he returned to Norway, he wanted the daily service to continue.

He contacted his cousin in Vellore for help. Together, they began turning a personal routine into a shared initiative.

Early 2017

The first regular initiative

The original Daily Eggs account describes two eggs and a piece of bread given each day to the first 30 people outside a maternity hospital in Vellore. This is part of the organization’s early history.

January 2018

Established in Norway

Daily Eggs was established as a nonprofit charity organization in Norway. More people joined the effort, helping the idea grow.

As the work developed

Beyond the original food initiative

Daily Eggs completed a project installing solar panels at a children’s home. It also provided jobs for single mothers producing incense. These projects widened the ways the organization could support people.

Daily Eggs has also provided microloans. Food, energy, and livelihoods are all part of its growing story.

Ongoing support

Nutrition remains part of our work

Daily Eggs provides monthly nutritional supplies for women and men living with HIV.
