Elderly Care

“There are frail and elderly parents who have been beaten up by their own children and have been thrown out of their homes just because they are of no use anymore. I can’t let this happen to helpless seniors who are too weak to provide for themselves”, says Harsh Arora, founder, Sarthak Prayas, an NGO that has been leading the way in the rescue and rehabilitation of abandoned elderly. Without Harsh’s Sarthak Prayas, countless elderly would today be deprived of the love and care they deserve. The NGO takes care of every single need of its seniors from medical care to nutrition and housing. Your donation can enable Sarthak Prayas to extend its hand to many more elderly who need support. Contribute generously. Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).The suffering of the abandoned elderly “I have seen senior citizens eating from garbage, I have rescued many without even a stitch of clothing. There are so many elderly who have been kicked out of their own homes, the homeless they themselves built. And why? Just because they are of no use to their families anymore”, says Harsh as he talks about how elderly parents suffer after being discarded by their own.Today Harsh’s Second Innings Home is providing over 20 elderly parents with safe shelter away from the horrors of street life. Sarthak Prayas takes care of all their needs and even provides them with end-to-end medical care. In addition to this, the NGO even provides monthly rations and medicines. Several elderly parents who are left in their homes have no one to take care of them. Providing hope when there was noneThe work being done by Sarthak Prayas serves as a lifeline for the elderly.

Help Second Innings Home for elderly

Son to 20 abandoned parents, Harsh needs your help to give them a loving home and care

Sarthak Prayas

MISSION: “Khud Ka Apna Ghar” 60-65 is the age of retirement from work but not from the home and relations. Infact this is the correct age to make them feel loved and wanted, but unfortunately many of the elders get thrown out of the house or left underserved on roads in the same age. Sarthak Prayas is continuously working for such abandoned old age people. We have adopted poor, destitute and abandoned senior citizens of Delhi. These poor aged people are either alone or with families who consider them as burden or cannot take care of their living expenses. They end up in a poor state mentally, emotionally and physically, where they can't even afford basic food, clothing, and toiletries for themselves. Sarthak Prayas adopt these senior citizens and make them a family member of our Second Inning Home, a home for all such destitute and abandoned elders, so that these senior citizens are not left on roads in vulnerable conditions. This second inning home is right now on rent but we dream to make “Apna khud ak ghar” for these senior citizens so that they never feel homeless or abandoned and could live with the dignity. There are 12 elderly inmates living in our old age home till now. We work tirelessly to support these senior citizens in all ways. Our target is to setup “Apna khud ka ghar” for almost 100-150 senior citizens in the coming years.Below are the basic facilities given to elderly:1.    Food, shelter, clothing and Hygienic Home.2.    Regular medical Checkups3.    Necessary Surgeries or other emergencies.4.    Monthly Birthday celebrations5.    Celebrate all Festivals with them6.    Regular counseling7.    Basic amenities like Fridge, Washing Machine, R O, Geyser etc.8.    Facilities like TV, Games, Newspaper and magazines.9.    Most important Love and Care to all.Apart from these, we keep on organizing multiple activities to engage them, made them feel loved and wanted. It also motivates them towards living life in a positive way.  <h1></h1>

Give Destitute and Abandoned Elders Their Own Space(Khud ka Ghar)

Sarthak Foundation

The destitute and abandoned senior citizens of the society are our targeted population. The elderly people belonging to the lower middle class or those who are destitute and abandoned and have no place for accommodation, lack the fulfilment of their basic needs. Being in their old age, they are already feeble and their will to live also diminishes. Either they don't get any support from their children or they do not have anyone to take well care of them. Food, shelter clothing and medical facilities are the basic needs of the elderly population as they are vulnerable to the issues of robbery, exploitation, malnutrition etc. That's why a firm decision of setting up an old age home was taken to ensure their proper care. There are 12 elderly inmates living in our old age home, and we are starting this project for their benefit. People in our society leave their old parents and they are left with no one to spend their time with. Transformation of the mindset is very important, but the destitute elderly who don't have anyone, are welcomed in the Second Innings Home with love and compassion. 
 Second Innings Old Age Home is an initiative through which the destitute and abandoned elderly are given a home. They are given proper care and protection. We provide them with food three times a day and also snacks between the meals. They are given new clothes time to time. They are taken to nearby hospitals for regular health check ups. Recently, one of our elderly inmates (Mr.Lalit) successfully had a cataract surgery and is recovering. All the elderly inmates live in the same hall and medical beds are provided to them. All the facilities are provided to them, which includes geysers in bathrooms, R.O , T.V, almirahs, refrigerator, washing machine, fans, LED bulb, tube-lights, coolers, etc. We celebrate birthdays with them every month and also celebrate festivals and perform various activities to cheer them up. 
 The main impact of setting up an old age home is to sensitise people to work for the elder population as their responsibility. Our activities in old age home had a great impact on the beneficiaries living as they've become more social and responsive towards the activities done with them.They get proper nutrition as their diet is checked on weekly basis. Their health is improving as they are taken to hospitals for their regular health check ups. The environment of our old age home is kept clean and it has a good impact on the inmates living here. Keeping the elderly indulged is very important and celebration of special days has kept them going on with their lives happily.

Rohit Nair

Impact Roshan is 6 years old child. He lives in a slum in Sagarpur. Both his parents work as daily wage laborers. They work long hours and struggle to make ends meet. Roshan goes to a nearby Govt. school. **His parents though illiterate want the best for Roshan and want him to be educated and have a good future.** However, their work does not give them enough time with Roshan. They are also not literate so cannot help him with his school requirements. **On the advice of well-wishers, they enrolled him in the Parivartan Shiksha Kendra, Sagarpur.** Sarthak Prayas made sure that his needs were taken care of. Roshan made overall good changes since he started attending the center. He is a brilliant child who needs more focus on his studying methods. The center is working to help his concentration. At this age, he remembers multiplication tables till 25 and is very sincere in studies. He is also active in co-curricular activities. **Sarthak Prayas not only help him in studies but also keep his childhood alive by celebrating his birthday and give him other such small joys.** Without this support, Roshan could have found his studies very hard. With no help, children like him are at risk of dropping out of school. **You can also help little children like Roshan enjoy little joys that they deserve. You can donate so that organizations like Sarthak Prayas can continue to help the overall development. You can give with confidence because every program listed is [GIVEASSURED](https://www.giveindia.org/giveassured).** About The Program Sarthak Prayas run centers to support students studying in Govt. schools and living in urban slums of Delhi/NCR. One unit of donations to this program will cover the cost of the snacks and birthday celebration, reimbursement of tutors' travel and story books for a child. Sarthak Prayas works with students in the areas of Punjabi Bagh, Vasant Kunj &amp; Gurgaon or in sponsored centers in Rohini, Shalimar Bagh, for their overall improvement in studies, attitude, communication, and hygiene. The centers operate from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm, Monday to Saturday from various places. Children from classes 3 to 8 attend the centers. The centers help the children in their homework, teach them spoken English, impart positive attitude towards life and make them aware about the importance of hygiene. The kids are also given food which motivates them to attend the center regularly. 'Build a Foundation' is one of the programs where Sarthak Prayas provides free remedial education to kids of slum areas of Delhi/NCR. There are presently 40 kids studying in the remedial education center. The students receive stationery items and books every month. They are also provided refreshments every day. Sarthak Prayas hoped to raise funds to open more and more centers to help more children across the areas of Delhi. When you donate to this program, you give students from underprivileged backgrounds little joys like birthday celebrations and storybooks which they often are deprived of. About The NGO Sarthak Prayas was established in the year 2003 with aim to help the underprivileged of New Delhi in the area of health and education. The programs are spread across different slum areas in the city. Two of their major interventions are in the field of education as well as elderly. Under education, Sarthak Prayas runs remedial education centers where students from government schools attend classes every day to improve their knowledge. The centres help students complete their homework and revise lessons of the day. They also impart life skills and teach them how to deal with real life situations. The organisation runs eight centers in Delhi/NCR with 40 students studying in each center. Since the children are from an impoverished background, the organisation also supplements their nutrition with packed food every day after the class. In addition to this, as part of recreation for the children, the centres also celebrate children's birthdays every month. During the celebrations, children cut cake and the teachers distribute gifts. Each day the students attend sessions for approximately 90 minutes. Their other program focuses on people at the other end of the age spectrum, the underprivileged elderly. The premise behind this is that the elderly have struggled all their life for food, shelter and livelihood. They have now reached an age where their bodies don't allow them to work a lot and their economic conditions do not allow their families to be able to take care of them either.Sarthak Prayas visits the slums and identifies elderly people who were unable to take care of themselves. As a part of their intervention, they provide dry ration on a monthly basis for a one person's need. They also provide quarterly clothing and toiletries. The material is distributed in designated locations near their slums every month. Apart from the above two programs, they also run a telephonic helpline centre for people who require blood transfusions. Sarthak Prayas tries to fulfil requests raised within 2 hours. Finally, they also organise awareness camps at public places and schools on the dangers of Global warming. Till now, they run such camps for more 1000 students in the Delhi/ NCR region.

Impact Kallo Devi has struggled all her life to make ends meet. **She lives in a slum and works as a domestic help in houses. She had no one to look after her at this old age.** She has one son who is 35 years old. Unfortunately, he is disabled and bedridden. **He is completely dependent on his mother for everything.** After the loss of her husband, she has been left alone to take care of her bedridden son and herself. **As she has aged herself, she cannot work for long hours.** She has extremely low income. She found it impossible to take care of the household expenses and her son. **Many days, she used to sleep hungry which had an effect on her health and her income.** She was then identified through an outreach program. She was enrolled in the 'Adopt an Elder' program. **The monthly rations and toiletries that she receives every month help her a lot in covering her expenses.** She no longer has a fear of not getting two meals a day. Kallo Devi still goes to work as domestic help and tries to earn the best way possible for herself and her son.
