I didn’t realize the extent of the situation of elderly people and orphans until I sat writing this article. Yes, I knew that the condition is bad, but how much.. I was shook!

When we think of orphanages and old age homes, we think that theses are places where people are taken care of. Where orphans and elders are given care, shelter and food.

During the research for this article, I had tears in my eyes.

These institutions are responsible for providing support for people who can’t support themselves. However, the reality is that these institutions are barely able to raise enough money to do so!! Many orphans and elderly people are neglected in these houses because of lack of funding.

There is a old age home in Hyderabad that is facing dearth of essentials like medicine and food!

Read this:

The children in orphanages are mistreated as the staff is not trained and qualified to take care of the them. They face food scarcity and lack of basic facilities due to lack of funds.

Read this:-

The situation is bad! I cannot even cover it all in one piece.

The Question is….
