Social changes are leaving an increasing number of elderly people without family support and shelter.

A lot has happened on this sector since we have first written this homepage in December 2008. 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 has been completed in December 2009.

It is our goal to make a dignified life possible for old people without family support and financial security. Some of them have been literally picked up from the streets, some others have been brought to us by a son or a daughter, who are themselves not capable of supporting their (grand)father/mother. Please, visit the photo gallery for some photos of our aged ashram inmates.

After completion of the construction of both blocks of the New Old-age home, the ashram can now accommodate upto 25 old-age home inmates. Due to lack of funds, we could not construct the sick ward yet. We sincerely hope that we can complete this building also in the near future.

The ashram's expenses for all the necessities of life for one old person amounts to a minimum of ca. Rs.2,000.- (Euro 40.-) per month (food, medicines, clothes, maintenance of building, electricity, etc.).
