Isolated, neglected and victimised for their deteriorating health conditions, a growing number of senior citizens in India are facing a life on the streets, deserted by their own families.

47%

elders depend on their families to feed them

70%

elders face physical & emotional abuse

25% of elders in urban India are abused by their sons or daughters-in-law

The abandoned elderly are often found on streets, in trains stations and even dumped at temples. Many are ill, have little money and have age-related issues. Often it takes weeks and months to reveal the painful truth of how they were abandoned by their own.

Although there is a law to protect elders by making it obligatory for children or relatives to maintain senior citizens, elderly abuse and abandonment continues to increase

Inadequate social pensions & healthcare force many elders to rely on families. Deteriorating health of the aging adds to the strain on household finances, often leading to abuse & abandonment - especially of women & widows.
