For over 15 years, Bala Vikasa has been reaching out to
the aged, the abandoned and the weak. As part of their
social responsibility, Bala Vikasa has encouraged the
women members to offer their assistance to old and
destitute. Consequently, the women are taking care of
the needy with in their communities. Women members
themselves contribute in cash and kind to give out
provisions like rice, dal, oil and soap to the identified
persons.
Women members pool in their savings and raise
funds to buy groceries, clothes and bedsheets for
the utterly poor aged with no children of their own
and no energy to work, no savings, and begging to
survive.
964 elderly persons are currently under the care of
Bala Vikasa. One woman helper per one elderly person
was arranged to keep an eye on their health, help them
receive pensions and take them to the doctor when needed. Thus the poor are taking care of the poorest.
