Social security and provisional plans for retirement are hardly realistic for people from economically poor environment. Since the traditional family structures are splitting up in India as well, the problems for old people to find a secure place in society are rapidly increasing.

In June 2003, the founders have taken up 2 abandoned old men into the ashram's fold & care, on the grounds of lacking family support and poverty. Since then more and more old people came to the ashram to ask for a place to stay and help.

Consequently, an old-age home was constructed where 10 elderly persons can be provided with all the necessities of life (free shelter, food, clothes, hygienic articles and medical care).

NEWS: The construction of the 1st block of the new old-age home was completed in June 2009 and some of our old-aged inmates have already shifted to the new rooms. The second block is under construction and might be ready to move into at the end of this year (2009).
