Help with nutrition & food security of tuberculosis-affected elderly

Campaign by DIGNITY FOUNDATION

Story

Tuberculosis (TB) among the elderly is often lethal as the immunity of senior citizens is at lower levels. There are also chances of having other co-morbidities which could further worsen their health. Often, TB leaves the elderly incapable of recovering from it if they are not provided with proper nutrition support.

You can help us in our mission to care for the elderly with TB. The elderly from poor backgrounds don't deserve a life with TB and low nutrition and immunity levels. Donate monthly to support them.

Dignity Foundation's Mission

In 2023, Dignity Foundation made a humble beginning by supporting the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai’s E-Ward office with customised ration kits for the elderly who were suffering or recovering from Tuberculosis (TB). We distributed 200 such kits and joined the PM’s mission of making India TB-free. We were also conferred the title of Ni-Kshay Mitra along with a certificate and trophy.

This year, we are joining hands with Pradhan Mantri’s mission with an ambitious goal of supporting 25,000 TB ration kits across India. These special kits contain the dry ration items in quantities specified by the TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.

High incidences of TB

A recent survey in India showed the incidence of TB is higher in the elderly. They may not have classical symptoms, or clinical and radiological signs of TB which can lead to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. In addition, the elderly have many comorbid and coexisting diseases which make diagnosis and treatment of TB challenging. Comorbidities, poor general health status and other medications may lead to increased drug adverse reactions and poor adherence to treatment in elderly. Hence special emphasis should be given to the elderly for early diagnosis and treatment.

You can help the Dignity Foundation in our mission to care for the elderly with TB. Your regular support means we can reach many more elderly consistently and meet their needs. Donate monthly to our mission.
