HelpAgeIndia runs a gamut of programmes that impact millions

of lives of needy senior citizens every year. With the elderly

population growing every year with increasing longevity in India,

the need to reach out to more and more is an urgent need.

Reason why, every rupee received in donation counts in reaching

out to the needy. Given below are glimpses of major HelpAge

initiatives:

Mobile Medicare Units (MMU):This programme

provides over 1.7 million treatments through its

81 MMU vans covering 840 locations across India.

This programme has been recognised as Asia'slargest Mobile Medical Programme for the elderly.

Cataract surgeries: HelpAge India funds over

30,000 cataract surgeries for needy elderly every

year. In most cases, these surgeries help the

affected elderly get back to work and earn a

living once again, freeing them from financial

dependency on anyone, enabling them to live a

life of dignity.

Cancer and Palliative Care:HelpAge India provides

palliative care to end stage patients suffering from

Cancer. Last year, over 7500 patients and their

families received this help.

Agecare/Physiocare centres: Elderly are usually

impacted by the onset of arthritis and other

related disease; this affects their ability to work

and therefore earn their living. HelpAge India

supports over16,000 elders in physiocare centres

across 22 states.

Support A Gran: HelpAge India enables over 30,000

destitute elderly to sustain themselves with regular

supplies of food rations, clothing and basic healthcare.

This Support-a-Gran programme works across India,

enabling these elders live with dignity and

independence.


6/12

Old Age Homes/Day Care Centres: A roof over

their heads is the critical need of the destitute,

the sick and the abandoned, the uprooted by

disasters and emergencies. This basic care is

provided by HelpAge India supporting over 60

old age homes across the country every year.

Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation: every disaster

impacts the elderly very adversely as they are unable to

push for relief packages. HelpAge India has stepped in at

every major disaster, delivering specialised relief and

rehabilitation measures. These range from floods in the

plains of Assam, Bihar, Odisha, UP, Tsunami in Tamil Nadu

to earthquakes in Gujarat and J&K and the recent

Uttarakhand Floods.


7/12

Livelihood programmes: income generation schemes enable

otherwise needy elders to set up self help groups to avail micro

credit and start commercial enterprises. These help them earn

their livelihood and regain their financial independence.

Over 3200 such Elder Self Help Groups, covering more than

42,000 elders operate across India.

Tamaraikulam Elders Village (TEV): TEV is a unique rehabilitation project

situated on the Cuddalore-Puducherry road, Tamil Nadu, built by HelpAge

India - NDTV Viewers after the Tsunami in 2004. 100 elder victims of the

Tsunami devastation were given a safe place to live in a model elder village

which provides health care, professional care, livelihood options and

recreational facilities.

Working with the Youth

Student Action for Value Education (SAVE): Student Action for Value

Education (SAVE) aims to inculcate care and respect for the elderly through

HelpAge India's long standing programme with schools across the country; the

HUG (Help Unite Generations) initiative aims at involving college students and

young professionals to engage with elders and keep in regular touch with

them, providing them companionship in their lonely, later years
