Story
Impact

Saraswati Devi is a 72-year-old woman from Sampatchak, Patna. She is from one of the most backward localities of the area and lived in absolute poverty.**She has four sons but they all abandoned her over time.** She lives alone and is paralyzed on one side. She cannot work and was not able to earn enough to survive. She felt **helpless and did not know how to go on.**When **Action for Development of Demos** noticed her state, they decided to enroll her in their program for senior citizens. They gave her **monthly food rations along with milk and an egg every day.** They made sure that she was given all the nutrients she needed to become healthy again.They also gave her a few clothes, towels and bed covers to help with her basic necessities. She was also given a medical checkup and the needed medical help under the program.


About The Program

Action for Development of Demos has a unique 'Support for poor old person' program which provides support in terms of rations for senior citizens, below the poverty line, who are alone and nearing the end of their journey. They work with economically downtrodden senior citizens in the rural and semi-urban areas of Bihar. The senior citizens are provided rice, wheat, oil, vegetables, milk coupons and Horlicks. Local ADD volunteers identify beneficiaries based on their economic status and include them in the program. ADD provides food and also remains in touch with them, through its representatives, who try convincing the other family members about the importance of caring for the elderly. The duration of support is often extended if there is an availability of funds. When you donate to this program, you can help underprivileged senior citizens with the dignity of regular food.


About The NGO

Being moved by the pitiable condition of the forgotten and depressed lot of the society, Action For Development of Demos (ADD) was registered in 2004. The organization spreads over 4 districts of Bihar and works with the most neglected, oppressed and downtrodden section of the society. The organization has helped many children that belong to the BPL category and drop out of school due to the lack of funds. The organization supports the tuition fee. ADD supports around 60 children every year through this program. ADD is committed to providing the necessary post-natal home-based healthcare and nutrition support for the first 3- months to mother and the newborn child. Close to 50 women benefit from this service yearly. ADD also provides tricycles to the disabled people from the weaker sections. This encouraged more than 20 disabled every year to contribute to the families and stand on their own. Alongside, many are given computer training, the girls belonging to the BPL families are provided with bicycles etc. With a mission to establish a healthy society of worthy individuals, the organization is helping the poor and needy to reach a better economic status and lead a dignified life.
