HelpAge envisions a society where elderly have the right to an active, healthy and dignified life. It became the first and only Indian organization to be honored with the ‘UN Population Award 2020’ for its exemplary work in the field of ageing, relief efforts work during the Covid-19 pandemic and recognition of the organization’s outstanding contribution to population issues and efforts in the realization of older person’s rights in India. The organization’s programmes are focused on direct interventions in the areas of Healthcare, Age care, Livelihoods, Disaster Response, Digital Literacy & Safety, as well as Research, Advocacy and Awareness on rights and policies relating to elders. HelpAge India reaches out to 2 million elders and we need to expand outreach greatly which will be possible only through your support. THEIR ONLY HOPE IS YOU.

OUR APPEAL

Let’s make this world a better place for the Elderly.

HelpAge India is a leading, registered, secular, national-level NGO, established in 1978 under Societies Registration Act of 1860, working nation-wide for the cause and care of the disadvantaged older persons for more than 4 decades and to improve their quality of life enabling them to live with dignity and lead active healthy lives.

Currently there are a projected 138 million elderly in India, out of which -

53 million live below the poverty line.
11 million going blind without treatment.
96 million must work to survive. No pension, PF, gratuity, medical coverage.

Also, you will be shocked to know that 25% elders are abused by their own kin.

By 2050 the elder population will triple to 340 million.

Through our countrywide interventions we are able to reach 2 million elderly, which is just 1% of the elder population in India. Hence, in order to increase our reach to the unreached community, we appeal to you to help us raise funds to:

- Support our Mobile Healthcare program to reach the unreached community.
- Support our Vision Restoration to restore a vision of an elderly and giving them a new life.

Let’s give elders the promise of health & happiness and warmth of comfort & companionship by donating a small contribution from your end.
