Khwaja Moinuddin could barely afford chicken biryani, yet he had the ambition to feed the orphans in his neighbourhood. “Why don’t we start a cooking channel on YouTube?”, suggested a friend. “If it becomes popular, we could use the money and feed more children.” It was this idea that gave birth to their YouTube channel. The channel not only provided Khwaja and his partners a sustainable source of income, but also gave them an opportunity to feed orphaned children with the food they cooked for their videos. After a few initial bumps, their channel took off. Viewers found the intent behind the channel as delicious as its recipes. Subscribers, likes, and comments started pouring in. With the growth and success of their YouTube channel, their earnings grew, allowing them to serve food to 1500 orphaned children every month. “I may be filling their bellies,” says Khwaja, “but their smiles feed my soul.”
