A warm Balnket for a Most Needy Old Age Person
In previous year we have supported old age poor persons with focus on old age women by distributing blanket. It is due to they were unable to live a healthy life in winter without blanket support. It save their life and also saved them with cold diseases. They were not able to bear the cost of warm clothing as they were also neglected by family as well as community. They didn’t had safe shelter which can save them from winter. They were earning their day to day bread through daily labour ,it was also concern to winter. If not provided blanket they were even not able to get two square meal in a day . In such tough condition the organization staffs visited Islampur blocks of Nalanda districts, Bihar (India) and identified most vulnerable old aged persons , who are facing lack of clothing in the severe winter seasons and who don’t have any support and source of getting warm clothing . In such condition the organization staffs conducted village meeting involving community head, CBO leaders, PRI members in deciding beneficiaries in participatory way. Mostly old age women members , poor old age persons were selected as potential beneficiaries who don’t have warm clothing support and a hope for the same. The beneficiaries were totally unable to purchase the warm clothes in any condition . Hence organization provided blanket to most needy beneficiaries. After getting blanket they were happy and show ray of hope for saving lives in serious coldness. After getting blanket their health status was healthy and if some coldness they became cure . They expressed heartiest thanks to the Donor, SUGAM JAGRITI and The Global Giving Foundation for blanket support . They expressed that without blanket support they were not able to lead a successful life.
