Story
“Parvathi Amma (name changed) was brought to Akshaya Trust by her son. He brought her here saying she was being taken to the hospital for treatment and he would be back in a while. It's been 8 years since that day. The phone number he gave to us was made up, even his address was false. Imagine the pain of the mother who was abandoned in such a heartless manner. She is not the only one. We have over 260 elderly parents here and most of them have faced abandonment, neglect or even abuse”, says G Gopalan, the founder of Akshaya Trust, the NGO taking care of abandoned seniors who have no one else in the world.
Without Gopalan’s Akshaya Trust, countless elderly would still be on the streets or simply deprived of the love and care they deserve. The NGO takes care of every single need of its seniors from Food to medical care and housing.

G Gopalan, a well-to-do businessman preferred to serve the elderly than living a peaceful retired life. He says that he was too shocked to see the state of the elderly, treated shabbily by their own children.
A lifeline for hundreds of neglected elderly
Today, Akshaya Trust offers a safe haven to over 260 elderly parents, shielding them from the harsh realities of street life.

Lakshmi would have ended her days forgotten, hungry, and hopeless if not for Akshaya trust. But with our help, she is thriving within a community of hundreds of abandoned elderly.
From the period April '25 to September '25, we have continued to care for 320 abandoned elderly in our shelter home. This includes providing nutritious meals, arranging community events, and taking care of their health needs.
Our inmates once had their own hopes and dreams, but have been abandoned in their old age, often by the very family that they raised and trusted. As such, we urgently need your help to sustain our shelter programme.
Please support our efforts toward ensuring no aged person is left to die on the street.
Donate now and save a life.
