| Senior Citizen SupportElderly residents of poor communities face many challenges, including deteriorating health, loss of independence, loneliness and isolation. To address these problems, we run programmes for senior citizens at eight of our community centres. Over 265 seniors attend these programmes regularly to spend time with others, receive medical care, seek help from our social workers, and engage in recreational activities. During the cooler winter months, we also distribute blankets to all the seniors in our programmes. |

This year, we organized a number of additional activities for the elderly, including an Eye Check-Up Camp for 300 seniors to identify and treat cataracts, and a two-day overnight outing at the Kamangaon Campsite in Vasai. Two hundred seniors attended this outing, which provided participants with a unique opportunity to take a break from their daily lives. They watched films, participated in games and activities like “Kabaddi”, played on the playground, and enjoyed the fresh air of the surroundings.. |
