This micro project provides monthly groceries support to one poor elderly person for a year, who is neglected by sons & daughters. CHHASE is sponsoring monthly food provisions to 78 such destitute elderly age group between 60 to 90 years to reduce starvation among them. These Older people are able to cook themselves with this provisions and having food every day. Sometimes due to ill-health if their health not permits, neighbours cook food and feed these older persons.
The elderly women are not having any work and also their age / health not permits to work in the agricultural fields. The Older Persons from Tiruvallur, kancheepuram districts have been identified by the CHHASE as part of regular field activities. The elderly women do not have timely food. Some of elderly persons do not have children too. By seeing this critical juncture we provide monthly food groceries to 78 elderly persons.
