Old age is a sensitive phase; elderly people need care and comfort to lead a healthy life without worries and anxiety. Since age progresses, various medical issues happen, some of the particular known diseases usually are blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure issues, cancer, joint pains as well as kidney infections.
Elders desire a life with good health, dignity, economic independence and finally a peaceful death. Understanding their needs and concerns, will ensure their good health. However, for many people, providing care and attention to elders is not possible due to poverty. Such elders and senior citizens really need our support.
Elderly People Support
The Elderly People Support Program aims to provide poor elderly individuals with everything they need in the final stage of their lives. Their major concerns are medical expenses and the living needs of their dependents (wives and children).
TARS Foundation supports such elderly people through a monthly allowance of Rs.10,000 to Rs.20,000, depending on family size and needs. This assistance helps them cover essential expenses such as food, clothing, education, medication, and daily living costs.
So far, TARS Foundation has sponsored several elderly people and their families on a monthly basis and continues to extend support to many more. Our assistance ranges from covering living expenses to providing medical treatments and medicines.
In addition to the monthly allowance, Monthly Ration Packages are distributed to ensure sufficient food at home. Clothes are also provided on special occasions such as Eid, and warm clothing is distributed during the winter season to help them stay protected and comfortable.
