This micro-project provides hot, nutritious meals for two months to 60 vulnerable seniors in Dasaripalem and Pallekona. Many live in extreme poverty without family, facing chronic hunger daily. Your support of $1,600 ensures 30 seniors at each center receive a balanced meal every day. This restores their health, preserves their dignity, and reminds them they are not forgotten. Together, we can replace hunger with hope.
In the regions of Dasaripalem, and Pallekona, many elderly people have been abandoned by their families or have outlived their earning capacity. Without a steady income or physical strength to work, they often skip meals or rely on meager scraps. Malnutrition leads to rapid health decline and isolation. Currently, 60 seniors across these two rural and semi-urban hubs are facing a "silent hunger" crisis, struggling to find even one consistent meal a day.
BASS operates two community meal centers in Dasaripalem and Pallekona, serving as a lifeline for 60 neglected elderly seniors. Your support funds fresh groceries-rice, dal, and vegetables-and cooking fuel for daily hot meals. By providing a reliable lunch, we stabilize their health and create a dignified space for social interaction. At our centers, these 60 individuals are no longer abandoned; they are respected members of a community that cares.
This project restores dignity to 60 neglected seniors, shifting their lives from a struggle for survival to a state of security. Consistent nutrition drastically reduces hunger-related illnesses, while our centers break the cycle of social isolation. By providing a reliable support system, we ensure these elders live their remaining years with vitality and belonging, creating a permanent model of compassion in Dasaripalem and Pallekona.
