Archana Sinha, CEO and Co-founder, Nourishing Schools Foundation and a panellist, said, "Data can be a powerful tool to help non-profits empower communities. We've partnered with non-profits in various parts of India to collect and analyse data regarding the nutritional status and nutrition-related behaviours of schoolchildren. The data-based insights developed from this are shared with schoolchildren, teachers and parents to help them identify actions to tackle malnutrition. We've seen solutions such as setting up school gardens to supplement midday meals, building handwashing stations from readily available materials and launching school canteens serving healthy snacks made by children during their home science class. During the session, we discussed how collaborations in the non-profit sector can help organisations deepen their impact, using data." Recently, Nourishing Schools Foundation won the Data for Good Exchange Empowerment Challenge, supported by Dasra, Bloomberg, Societal Platform, Stanford PACS and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.Nirali Trivedi, D4GX Team, Dasra, said, "DPW serves as a platform for key stakeholders in the sector to come together and engage in conversations which form the cornerstone of subsequent action. Data for Good is a critical part of these conversations since the infinite potential of data to transform communities needs to be tapped into now more than ever. We are glad to have Nourishing Schools Foundation be a part of our Data for Good cohort."
