Elderly women who are poor and live alone or with dependent children find them vulnerable, powerless and are neglected by their family or grown up children. Many are too old or physically weak and thus unable to find work. They are forced to beg, and are often homeless. Moved by the plight of destitute single women, Ashaa foundation has taken up program of sponsoring elderly women on an urgent basis.
Our volunteers and staff members conducted surveys and identified 190 destitute women who are above 60 year of age. These elderly women are widows or have been abandoned by their husbands. Some have children, but the children live apart and do not take care of their mothers. They do not have money for food, medical care and other basic necessities.
Ashaa foundation has been supporting 40 such old women by providing food rations and other necessities every month at their doorstep They worked hard all their lives, brought up children, and later took care of grandchildren.

You can help by sponsoring a destitute elderly woman by donating j every month, and enable her to live with dignity. Under our Sponsor an Elder Scheme, the donor will receive regular feedback on how the money was spent and the status and updates on the sponsored senior citizen
