Age Care is a priority of some major NGOs nowadays

NGOs have been continuously working on a daily basis to solve several problems relating to children, women, senior citizens, environment etc.

There are many Non-Governmental Organizations in India constantly seeking to raise funds to safeguard the rights of old age people. They are participating with the local as well as national government to implement policies which will be helpful for the old age people. Their aim is to make the elderly aware of their rights, so that they are able to play their rightful, active role in the society. To achieve this, they are also working determinedly to make the society aware of the concern areas of the aged and also promoting good understanding of similar problems.

Why the focus is more on age care in India

Approximately 33 percent of the elderly live on their own or with their spouse only

70 % of the senior people are uneducated

90 % need to work to survive

Elders have to deal with monetary insecurity, illness, loneliness, helplessness, physical weakness, social isolation and instances of elder abuse within the family

Grandparents take care of approximately half of orphaned kids.

Old age homes in the country aim to offer the best of care to the elderly. They aspire to improve the quality of health, well being of their residents as well as make sure to provide a homely atmosphere.

Such organizations are run through substantial online donation from people like you, and corporates. Donors are invited to visit and celebrate special events with the elderly.
