Respected Sponsor,

Warm wishes from SERUDS Charity!

We are delighted to share that SERUDS has once again been honored by the GlobalGiving Foundation, USA, as a Top-Ranked and Vetted Nonprofit. This recognition reflects the transparency, commitment, and impactful service that we continue to uphold—made possible only through the support of compassionate sponsors like you. Thank you for your monthly contribution toward providing essential groceries for impoverished elderly individuals.

Over eleven years ago, SERUDS began supporting neglected and destitute elderly women by providing monthly food provisions. What started as a small initiative has become a vital lifeline for senior citizens who have no family support, income, or physical ability to work. Your generosity enables us to continue this much-needed service in Pasupala Village, Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh.

Our team regularly visits rural communities to identify elderly persons who are truly in need. With increasing requests for support from vulnerable seniors, we strive to serve as many as possible despite limited resources. Currently, 20 elderly individuals between the ages of 60 and 90 receive monthly grocery kits, which include Sona Masoori rice, lentils, tar dal, cooking oil, spices, tamarind, bathing and washing soaps, biscuits, groundnuts, atta, rava, seasonal vegetables, fruits, and other essentials. On the first week of every month, all beneficiaries gather at a central location in the village to receive their supplies with dignity and care.

These monthly provisions have significantly improved the health and well-being of the elderly women we serve. Many of them live alone, in fragile huts, with no source of income and no family to rely on. Your support ensures they have nutritious food, personal care items, and the reassurance that they are not forgotten.

The elderly beneficiaries convey their heartfelt gratitude for your continued kindness and timely help. Your sponsorship brings stability, comfort, and hope to their lives.

Thank you for standing with SERUDS and helping us feed vulnerable seniors who depend on our support.

Warm regards,
SERUDS Charity

Sustaining Hope for Vulnerable Elderly: SERUDS Monthly Groceries Support Program

Respected Sponsor,
Warm wishes from SERUDS.

We are delighted to share that SERUDS has once again been recognized for its commitment to humanitarian service. The GlobalGiving Foundation (USA) has honored us as a Top-Ranked and Vetted Nonprofit Organization for 2019, acknowledging the impact of our ongoing programs and the trust we have built over the years. This recognition is made possible by compassionate supporters like you. We sincerely thank you for your continued monthly donation of groceries for destitute elderly individuals through GlobalGiving.

More than eleven years ago, SERUDS initiated the Monthly Groceries Support Program to address the silent suffering of abandoned and economically distressed elderly women in Pasupala Village, Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh. Many of these seniors, aged 60 to 90 years, live alone, without family support or financial means to meet even the most basic needs. With no strength left to work and no one to depend on, they struggle daily for food and survival.

Through this initiative, SERUDS provides monthly food provisions that include Sona Masoori rice, lentils, tamarind, spices, groundnuts, upma rava, wheat flour, cooking oil, bathing and detergent soaps, hair oil, seasonal vegetables, fruits, and biscuits. These essential supplies not only ensure that the elderly do not go hungry but also bring stability, dignity, and emotional comfort to their lives.

Every month, our staff, volunteers, and community leaders visit Pasupala Village to assess the needs of the elderly, identify new cases, and distribute groceries to the 20 vulnerable older women currently supported by the program. This careful fieldwork ensures that assistance reaches those who need it most. Over time, we have seen noticeable improvements in their health, confidence, and overall well-being.

Despite receiving numerous requests from elderly individuals in surrounding areas, limited resources prevent us from supporting everyone. Therefore, every contribution from donors like you becomes invaluable. Your support allows us to sustain this vital program and provide timely relief to the most neglected and helpless senior citizens.

The older women express their heartfelt gratitude for your kindness and generosity. Your continued support makes it possible for them to live their remaining years with dignity, security, and hope.

Thank you for standing with SERUDS and for making a meaningful impact on the lives of abandoned elderly individuals.

Nourishing Dignity: SERUDS Monthly Food Sponsorship for Elders

By Mallikarjuna Gorla | President

Leading Food Donation NGO in Andhra Pradesh

espected Donor,
Warm Greetings from SERUDS!

We are deeply grateful for your continued kindness and support. It brings us immense joy to share that GlobalGiving, USA, one of the world’s most respected nonprofit platforms, has recognized our charitable work for the poor in 2021. This honor inspires us to serve more needy families with renewed energy and compassion.

Your monthly donation of food provisions for poor elderly persons in Pasupala Village, Kurnool, has been a lifeline for many neglected senior citizens. Thirteen years ago, we began this initiative to support old age women suffering from malnutrition and illness — and we have never turned back since. Thanks to generous donors like you, this program continues to bring dignity and nourishment to their lives.

Each month, our team collaborates with local community leaders to identify elderly women in desperate need. Currently, 20 senior citizens aged between 60 and 90 years are receiving monthly grocery sponsorship under this program. The provisions include Sona Masoori rice, lentils, tamarind, spices, cooking oil, groundnuts, atta, upma ravva, vegetables, fruits, biscuits, and hygiene essentials such as soaps and oils.

At the beginning of every month, we procure all these items, visit the village, and distribute the provisions personally — along with COVID-19 hygiene and sanitation kits. The smiles and blessings we receive from these elders are truly heartwarming and a testament to your generosity.

Your monthly support ensures that these vulnerable senior citizens live with food security, care, and hope. On behalf of the entire SERUDS team and all the beneficiaries, we express our heartfelt gratitude for your compassion and commitment.

With sincere thanks and warm regards,
Team SERUDS
