Our Five Areas of Work
These are the five areas in which we work. Some people and families need help in more than one area.
Elder Care बुजुर्गों की देखभाल
Older people may need food, warmth, help with eating or moving, or simply someone who visits and listens. Our elder care work includes meals and ration support, essential items and personal visits. We respond to the person’s circumstances, including loneliness, reduced mobility or difficulty managing everyday tasks. Companionship is part of this support, alongside practical assistance.

People affected by leprosy can face practical difficulties and social isolation. Our support includes ration and meals, hygiene essentials, personal visits and help with mobility needs, such as access to a wheelchair where appropriate. We treat each person with respect and support their participation in community life. Health needs are connected with appropriate professional care; programme availability should be confirmed with our team.
