Health Care for Abandoned Widows

“Every single person in the world has the capacity to save a life.”

 

Maitri Ghar is a HOME to widow mothers who are frail and mostly over the age of
60 years . Our oldest is 105 years old, and we have Renu Ma with the most angelic smile who is 99 years old this year. Majority is suffering from age related sicknesses and neglect by family. Unfortunately, we have found, till they came to Maitri, their health needs had not been met, neglected and they were not seeking healthcare because they did not know how to access health care.
