old age home

Knowing the pain of loneliness, Yojana Gharat has built a haven for elderly souls, giving them the warmth of family and the comfort of home.

Laljibhai Prajapati lost his vision at 17. He founded Shri Navchetan Andhjan Mandal to support over 500 abandoned senior citizens and disabled individuals in Gujarat.

Yojana Gharat, who runs Smit Old Age Home and Care Foundation, has adopted over 3,500 abandoned elders, providing them with shelter, food, healthcare, and companionship. Despite challenges, she hopes to give them a permanent home so they can live with dignity.

A Pune trust is running an old-age home for destitutes and people whose children have abandoned them by selling different types of waste like plastic, newspapers, electronics and so on.

"As long as I can, I want to make this world a better place for elderly people, who are like my grandparents, to live in. I also want to make sure they know that they’re not alone," says 15-year-old Vivhan Rekhi. #Heartwarming #YoungIndia

Pained by the state of poor and homeless people, Jalaja and Janardhanan were driven by an overwhelming sense to care for those who had no one.

"Seeing patients happy gives us happiness. Their words of encouragement like ‘you saved my life’ gives us a lot of inspiration. We are simple people who don’t care for material needs, and doing this work is what gives us joy."

Lata, who had worked at Sakinaka’s Chachad Hospital for over twenty years as a maid, was left jobless and homeless after the ‘hospital’ which was her workplace and home, was demolished last month.

From sponsoring a child’s education, to a providing a safe shelter to an elderly woman, this NGO will help you reach out to the needy.

There are many who don't have anyone to rely on, during old age.
