This micro project provides monthly groceries support to one poor elderly person for a year, who is neglected by sons & daughters. SERUDS is sponsoring monthly food provisions to 20 such destitute elders age group between 60 to 90 years to reduce starvation among them. These Older people are able to cook themselves with this provisions and having food every day. Some times due to ill-health if their health not permits neighbors cook food and feed these older persons.

Challenge

The elderly women are not having any work and also their age / health not permits to work in the agricultural fields. The Older Persons from Pasupula village, Kurnool Mandal have been identified by the SERUDS as part of regular field activities. The elderly women do not have timely food from their families. Some of elderly persons do not have children too. By seeing this critical juncture we provide monthly food groceries to 20 elderly persons.

Long-Term Impact

20 destitute elderly people are getting benefits from this ongoing program. The senior citizens are able to eat stomach fully in time without begging on the roads. So we have taken up this initiative & motivating public about service to humanity & the program is having very good impact in other parts of Kurnool. Poor elderly persons health have been increased & they are living with dignity & not depending on others for food, daily needs. They are able to give moral support to other older persons
