How did this come to our attention?

The need for an elder's feeding program at Samata Sarana became apparent during our initial surveys and community interactions. Many elders in the surrounding slum areas were found to be living in dire conditions, often unsure of where their next meal would come from. Conversations with these elders revealed the harsh realities of their daily lives, marked by malnutrition and a lack of support. Observing their struggle to access basic nutrition due to economic hardships and physical limitations underscored the urgent necessity for a dedicated feeding program. This inspired us to develop a program that would provide them with regular, nutritious meals, ensuring their well-being and giving them a sense of security and care.
