While serving destitute elderly people
in Goverdhan, Mathura through its food camp, UMANG has realized
the need to set up a shelter to provide a place to stay
to homeless destitute elderly people in that area.
The budget of the project is
$40000 to provide shelter to 50 people in that area.
Testimonials
UMANG asked the caretaker(Reena) of "Kshetra" food camp to share her first hand experience
about the basic needs of destitute and elderly people.
UMANG: UMANG has been providing food to 35 destitute elderly people for 3 years. What
other essential things do they need.
Reena: "The elderly destitute people in the food camp are devoid of their
basic needs. They live on the streets as they do not have a place to stay. They have to
struggle the winter,summer and rain all the time. If they can be provided with the place to
stay it will help them a lot. Additionaly, if Umang can meet their basic health-care needs,
it will improve their lives significantly."
