Help abandoned elderly with shelter and care

65-year-old Shakuntala completely depends on our partner NGO, Share and Care, for her food requirements, as she has no one else to take care of her. “When my only child was young, my husband Nadesan died. It was just me and my young son. After my son got married, he left me to stay with his in-laws, and I was alone. I am old, have pain in my legs, knees, shoulders and my entire body so I cannot work as I once did. But the food rations such as the nuts, lentils, wheat flour and rice I receive from Share and Care help me tremendously and I can eat well every day,” she says. Share and Care helps hundreds of abandoned grandparents, most of them being elderly women. The senior citizens belong to tribal communities and have limited access to necessities such as food and medicines to stay alive and well. This Shivratri, you can help with food and other essentials.

This program ensures that every month, the 400 senior citizens have dry food rations, medicines and medical care, clothes, physiotherapy, geriatric counselling and other services to nurture them back to good physical health. Need for the fundraiserOne of the founders, Carmel Arokiasamy, shares that the abandoned elderly parents who live in extreme poverty without food or anyone to care for them constantly think about their children and ask, “Did we do something wrong?” Arokiasamy shares that from the time their children are born, they take care of them in such a special way. But when their children abandon them, they weep and cannot stop thinking about them. While dealing with this emotional distress, they are also suffering from hunger and disease. But cannot afford food and medicines. Donate now to help Share and Care provide the abandoned elderly with dry food rations, medical supplies, a medical and eye camp, counselling, clothes, blankets and recreational activities to live their lives with a positive outlook, despite their circumstances.Your donation can provide these elderly parents with their most basic and urgent needs. “Please support our work because this is for the elderly parents who are in great need.

At Unique Samaj Seva Sansthan, we believe that education is the foundation of a strong, empowered, and self-reliant society. Our mission is to ensure that every child, regardless of their socio-economic background, has access to quality education and equal learning opportunities.  We work actively in underserved and rural communities where children often drop out of school due to poverty, lack of awareness, and limited resources. Through our education initiatives, we aim to bridge this gap by providing academic support, learning materials, and a nurturing environment that encourages children to dream and achieve.  Our programs focus on improving literacy, supporting school enrollment and retention, and promoting holistic development. We organize remedial classes, digital learning sessions, and awareness campaigns for parents to emphasize the importance of education.  We also empower young minds with life skills, confidence-building activities, and career guidance to help them build a brighter future.

Education

At Unique Samaj Seva Sansthan, we believe that empowering women is the key to building a strong, inclusive, and progressive society. Women are the backbone of families and communities, yet many continue to face challenges such as lack of education, financial dependency, and limited opportunities.  Our Women Empowerment initiatives focus on enabling women to become confident, self-reliant, and financially independent. We work closely with women from marginalized and rural communities, providing them with skill development training, livelihood opportunities, and awareness about their rights and health.  Through vocational training programs such as tailoring, handicrafts, digital literacy, and small business development, we help women earn sustainable incomes and support their families with dignity.  We also conduct awareness sessions on health, hygiene, gender equality, and legal rights to ensure women are informed, safe, and empowered to make their own decisions.  Our goal is not just to support women—but to uplift entire families and communities by creating leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers.

Women Empowerment

At Unique Samaj Seva Sansthan, we truly believe that nature is not separate from us—it is our home. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on all depend on how we treat our environment.  In many communities, we see growing problems like pollution, lack of greenery, and poor waste management. These issues not only harm nature but also affect people’s health and daily lives, especially children.  Through our small but meaningful efforts, we try to bring positive change. We organize tree plantation drives, cleanliness campaigns, and awareness programs to help people understand the importance of protecting the environment.  We also encourage simple habits like reducing plastic use, keeping surroundings clean, and respecting nature in everyday life. Our aim is to make people feel responsible—not forced—so that change comes from within.  For us, it’s not just about planting trees or cleaning streets… it’s about building a mindset where every person cares for the environment as their own.

Environment

At Unique Samaj Seva Sansthan, we believe that the elderly are not a burden—they are our strength, our memories, and our guiding light. They have spent their lives taking care of others, but today many of them are left alone, unheard, and unsupported.  We often meet elderly people who struggle with basic needs like food, healthcare, and emotional support. More than anything, they need someone to listen to them, sit with them, and remind them that they still matter.  Through our efforts, we try to bring comfort and dignity into their lives. We provide basic support like food, clothing, and medical help, but we also focus on something equally important—companionship. Spending time with them, talking to them, and celebrating small moments together makes a big difference.  We also raise awareness in communities to respect and care for elders, because they deserve love, not loneliness.
