CHHASE NGO identified 57 neglected elderly people, 12 poor disabled, and 9 neglected lepers cured in Tiruvallur and Tiruvannamalai Districts of Tamil Nadu and providing monthly groceries consisting of Ponni rice, Tuar dal, groundnut oil, soaps, hair oil, vegetables & other necessary items. Groceries are delivered monthly at their door step by us/our volunteers. The neglected/destitute are happy for this kind of help & able to eat food timely and healthy.

Challenge

These poor old age people are spending their most of their time in begging for food. Their critical status for food was identified by our volunteers/our staff. CHHASE NGO consulted village elders/ SHG members and started to provide food provisions, groceries to these elderly women, poor aged disabled, aged widows and neglected leper cured. Further we have conducted survey and collected their case studies. The sons and daughters of these people neglected them and not at all taking care of them.

Long-Term Impact

78 neglected/destitute, disabled and leper cured elderly people are getting benefits from this ongoing program. These elders are able to eat in time without begging on the roads. Hence we have taken up this initiative & motivating public about service to humanity. This elderly person's health has been improved & they are living with dignity & not depending on others for food and other daily needs.
