SERUDS started Orphanage in Budhavarapeta, Kurnool in December 2012. Today the Children’s Home shelters 60 boys and girls in the age group of 4 to 16 years. These abandoned orphan, street children come from different family backgrounds like a father who died of AIDS, mother who committed suicide, alcoholic father and mother left children and is living with other person, or both parents died. In this critical juncture These kids were found by Seruds in streets or volunteers brought the children to SERUDS Children Home. We believe that if these children are not taken care of they may become anti-social. We have rescued them and provided a safe shelter, education support, counseling and extracurricular activities like sports and games.

2. Status of Poor Elders in India

3. According to a 2016 government
report, there were 104 million
elders in India, making the
country the second largest with
population of elders globally. By
2050 the number is expected to
reach 326 million.

4. A 2015 survey by All India Senior
Citizens’ Confederation reports
that 60 per cent of elderly people
living with their families face
abuse; 66 per cent are below the
poverty line.

5. Women in India depend on their husbands
for proving financial resources and social
status. As a result, a large proportion of
them face risk of dependence on children,
poverty, isolation and neglect after the
husband’s death. More than 20% elder
women live alone due to death of husband,
abandonment or children living in another
city.

6. A shocking fact is that over 55 million elders sleep
hungry every night
The growing crisis of elders calls for urgent
intervention, but the government with its limited
resources, can make only meager provisions. There is
an urgent need for the private sector and NGOs to
help feed destitute elders. SERUDS is one the leading
NGOs which has been feeding them. We need your
support to extend the reach of our mid day meals
project.
