There are a number of concerns we are trying to take care of. The foremost is providing shelter food , all encompassing medical care , clothing to destitute Old Women , so that at the sunset years of their lives they live a life of comfort and dignity. There are plenty of such unfortunate victims of circumstances who either loiter on the steers, spend the nights under flyovers or in the Railway platforms. Quite a few of them are mentally unstable and oblivious of their surroundings. They require urgent psychiatric intervention. Yet there are others, who worked tirelessly day in and day out till old age and bad health donot allow them to do hard work. The employers in such cases donot care from them, and in some cases we have found to our utter dismay even force them to vacate their premises thereby throwing them to the streets. Yet another category whose children refuse to give them any support and in cases subject them to physical and mental torture Our endeavor is to help such unfortunate victims of circumstances and provide them with the requisites to live comfortably free of diseases both physical and mental.
For last eight years we are running a home for Destitute Old Women at a location in the Centre of Guwahati, Assam to accommodate 25 destitute falling under the following categories: a. She has no shelter on her head. b. She should be above fifty. c. She should have no means of sustenance d. She should have no physically capable son. The home was established in the year 2011. We provide the residents shelter, food , all encompassing medical care that includes psychological treatment, clothing and all other requisites to lead a life of comfort and dignity. To make them feel that it is their home for rest of their lives , we make them do all the household jobs like cooking, sweeping, swabbing, gardening pursuing their hobbies like weaving, embroidering, knitting, singing, etc. The able bodied do the common jobs by turn. Our endeavor is to provide them a home as if 25 sisters live under the same roof sharing and caring each others. We give them all round medical care both physical and mental. Our nursing staff look after the sick in a way that was unimaginable to them before they were brought into our hold.
The impact can be gauged from the fact that we can boast of saving lives of atleast seven old women , who without our intervention, would in probability have died on the streets unwept and unsung. The beaming faces and the toothless grins of the old ladies who have made the home for life tells it all..Other measures of impact can be understood from the fact that eleven out of the 25 are mental patient. In five cases, they were admitted to a local psychiatric hospital for different periods starting from six months to two years, till they ere cured reasonably to lead a somewhat normal lives albeit with regular psychiatric drugs that they will have to take for rest of their lives. We had our moments of sorrow when we lost five inmates, four because of cancer and one because of total renal failure. Since they had no relatives, we organised their burials as per their faiths.
