“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” - Aristotle
The AiR Humanitarian Home
Care Giver for The Destitute
You must wonder what a home for the destitute is doing in what is essentially a body that strives to empower through education. For one thing, it’s an important part of our legacy. But that’s not the reason we still cherish it. The reason, quite simply, is that it is very close to our hearts. We simply couldn’t give it up.
Seniors For Change supports Air Humanitarian Home, which has been caring for the destitute in Bangalore since 1979. A sensitized police force rescues destitute, mostly elderly men and women, and takes them to this Home. The home cares for approximately 150 destitute. The trauma of sub-human living has left most of them physically debilitated and mentally scarred. The home provides shelter, nutrition, medical care, and rehabilitation to its inmates. Most importantly, it gives hope and human kindness.
Seniors For Change supports the home with food, medical care, and infrastructural facilities.
Nutrition
This comprises grains, dal, sambhar, vegetables, eggs, and dairy products. Special meals are served to celebrate festivals and birthdays.
Medical Care
Comprises medicines, routine medical check-ups, and hospitalization when necessary.
Infrastructure Facilities
We have donated an ambulance and solar heating system to the home, which will significantly improve the lives of the inmates.
The Home’s roof was damaged, leading to severe inconvenience to the inmates during the monsoons. Seniors For Change contacted ITW Consulting Pvt Ltd, and they were happy to repair the roof as part of their CSR activity. The project was executed at a cost of Rs. 25 Lakhs.
