Challenge

Many elderly individuals live below the poverty line, struggling to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. With limited or no income, small pensions that barely cover essentials, and inadequate access to social security programs-especially among marginalized communities-these seniors remain highly vulnerable and often neglected.

Solution

Many elderly individuals in rural Tamil Nadu struggle with poor nutrition, limited mobility, and lack of financial independence, leaving them vulnerable to illness and malnutrition. With only $10 per elderly person per year, this project will provide essential nutrition support to 2,000 senior citizens, helping them maintain health, dignity, and strength in their later years.

Long-Term Impact

Alongside nutritional support, awareness sessions on elderly health, hygiene, and self-care will be conducted to empower beneficiaries and caregivers. By offering consistent nutritional assistance at just $10 per elder per year, this initiative ensures dignity, improves daily functioning, and enhances the overall quality of life for vulnerable senior citizens who have limited or no means of support.
