About the cause: elderly
90% of India's poor seniors still work for a livelihood. They have no opportunities for good work. They suffer from lack of food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare. Donate to the poor elderly so they can get food, clothing, healthcare, and shelter in an old-age home.
Geriatric health
Close to 18 million elderly in India have no access to healthcare. The elderly who live in poverty have no access to healthcare. They suffer from age-related illnesses which makes it hard for them to work and without work they can’t afford their necessities. This is a vicious cycle. Donate to the poor seniors in need and support them with food, medicines and necessities.
Cataract
74% of India’s senior citizens get affected by cataracts. Unable to afford surgery, the affected poor elderly become permanently blind and lose the capacity to earn a living. Donate to the support the poor elderly so that they can get surgery, medicines, hospitalization, and nutrition which can help them restore their sight.
Old Age home
Close to 18 million elderly in India are homeless. Senior citizens living in poverty face abandonment by their own families as they cannot earn an income. They end up living alone and starving as they cannot afford even two meals a day. Donate to help poor elderly to help them have access to a safe old-age home where they can get food, shelter and medical care.
Extreme Need
Those in extreme need are usually socially excluded and face a lack of basic necessitates for reasons like living in underserved areas or social stigma of being affected with an incurable illness. Donate to those in extreme need and help them with resources like food, medical care, livelihood resources, sanitation, education, etc. to enable them to lead a normal life.
Under Funded
Donate to underfunded programs that are doing great work to provide the poor with necessities like food, shelter, education, senior care, and healthcare. These nonprofits are struggling to continue to help people as they are not receiving the necessary support. Help them with their efforts with your donations.
