Elders receiving cooked meals at SERUDS

The Harsh Reality

The Harsh Reality of Elderly in India

In many parts of India, abandoned and destitute senior citizens struggle daily for food, shelter and medical care. With no family support and no income, they live in extreme poverty — often surviving on leftovers or going to bed hungry. Many are widows or elderly people deserted by their own children.

SERUDS India, our partner NGO in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, has been serving such neglected elders for over 20 years. Through feeding initiatives and elder sponsorship programs, the organization provides daily cooked meals, groceries, medical aid and emotional care.

Program Objectives & Impact

The primary objective of this program is to alleviate hunger among the elderly homeless population in Kurnool. However, the impact of regular meal provision extends far beyond mere physical sustenance:

  • Improves Health & Well-being — Regular, nutritious meals strengthen the immune system, boost energy levels, and contribute to overall better health for these vulnerable seniors.
  • Restores Human Dignity — Beyond the physical nourishment, our program offers these elders a sense of dignity and community. They are treated with respect and care, in a setting that values their presence.
  • Provides Food Security — Your elder knows they will have groceries every month without fail. This security reduces anxiety and allows them to plan their meals and manage their limited resources.
  • Builds Community — Mealtimes become moments of connection — elders share stories, friendships and a sense of belonging often lost after abandonment.
