Nowadays old age persons have lost the respect and love from their family members. The old age persons belonging to poor families are starving because poor families cannot afford to feed old age persons. They face harassment from their own family members. Our volunteers and staff members conducted survey and identified 120 poorest old age destitute women. They are below the poverty line and above 60year of age. Due to financial problems, their family members are not providing sufficient food to these senior citizens. SERUDS has been supporting 20 such old age people’s groceries for every month.
