About this programme
The difference between a need and a changed life
India has around 100 million elders (people over 60), and that number is estimated to reach 323 million — about 20% of the total population — by 2050.
- Around 33% of the elderly live alone or with a spouse only
- 70% of the elderly population is illiterate
- 90% work for livelihood
Elders grapple with financial insecurity, morbidity, loneliness, vulnerability and physical weakness.
You can sponsor an older person for one month or one year. Your donation can provide essential rations or basic needs such as warm clothes and blankets, mid-day meals for poor older people, or you can volunteer in our programmes.
