This Organisation is successfully completed nine years of experience and entered tenth year. GHWA has organized following programmes with the contributions of the members in the past nine years. The response and achievements are very satisfactory. The plan is to take many more programmes to many more rural and slum peoples for their up-liftment, if external financial support is available.

1. Street Children (Re-habilitation) programmes.
2. Child Labour (awareness on child Labour act and child rights)
3. Prevention of Blindness and control night blindness in children.
   (Supply of Vitamin A Cap)
4. Prevention and control on HIV/AIDS.
5. Maternity and Child Health Care programmes.
6. Health Education
7. Women Self Help Groups (Savings)
8. Literacy Programmes
9. Old age Programmes

I. STREET CHILDREN :

“The Children are gift of God and the fruit of the womb is His reward”. The precious birth of a child is nothing but God’s creation in the womb of a mother for about 9 consecutive months by a continuous process of physiological transformation from a tiny zygote into a beautiful babe in the compact womb of the mother. A mother is supposed to dream of her offspring ever since her 3rd month of conception about the safe confinement, well brought up of the child, proper education, decent marriage and bright future so on. But now-a-days, what is going on? Some babes are not seeing the light of this world and eliminated cruelly in the womb itself. After delivery, some are mercilessly killed by the mothers with their own hands and thrown out in the darkness. Some are thrown on the Railway tracks, some are left in the temples, some on the verandahs and some are thrown in the streets leaving them to their fate. Some of them are eaten away by the street dogs and some are died, crying of hunger unnoticed. This is the situation of “God’s Gift” and fortune of a child grown for 9 months in the womb of the mother.

The reasons are so many. Due to differences between the wife and husband, rejection of female child, illegal child birth, raping unmarried girl, negligence of family planning, ignorance, famine, hunger, poverty, starvation, lack of counseling, the precious lives of the children are vanishing and some falling on the streets left to their destiny.

As per estimation, there are more than 10,000 unfortunate street children in the City Vijayawada today. Out of them mostly wandering in the streets, bus stations, Railway stations and the pavements for want of shelter and food. They eat the food stuff thrown out by the passengers in the dust bins of Foot paths, railway stations, bus stations and social/marriage functions due to hunger and starvation even neglecting their health. Most of them falling sick due to the unhygienic food and face deaths. Some of them do not know their fathers, some their mothers, some both the parents, some do have parents but they are living dead to them, because they are not cared due to the reason that the father is either an alcoholic/drug addict or debaucher, and indebtedness, illiteracy, a number of children are falling on the streets for want of care, compassion, love, humanity, co-operation, co-ordination, co-existence, shelter, food and other reasons of their own.

Slowly, these street children growing up and becoming pick picketers, pilferagers, thieves, rowdies, gundas, unsocial elements. Some of them organizing rival groups of rowdies and trying to do away with the other group, involving in rivalry fights. Some are becoming murders too. Some are addicting to drugs, alcoholism, drug trafficking, some becoming homo sexual. Lastly some are undergoing imprisonment. Some are working as child labourers in the factories, building works, contracts, servers in the restaurants, as room boys in the lodges, tea suppliers in stalls, rag pickers for suppressing their hunger. Girls are becoming prostitutes, becoming unmarried mothers and carriers of HIV/AIDS. Some of them are committing suicide for having no hope for their future.

As per a survey there are 10,000 street children in Vijayawada, about 1000 of them given shelter by some voluntary NGOs in Vijayawada and still there are more than 9000 street children wandering in the streets, eating the food stuff thrown on the streets. The State is already sunk up to brim with the debts. Hence The Government is unable to rehabilitate all of them through out the state who are swelling day by day in the major cities. The Govt. is almost in critical position to face the state problems like alleviation of poverty, population control, women empowerment, economically backward communities. Crores of Rupees are required to be allotted in the budget to settle the day to day swelling street children without home ties.

GHWA has done so much to the homeless street children. Some of them were sent home duly counseling, some of them were sent to orphanages. Some were given training in caning of chairs, cots and gas welding, cutting and tailoring to support them selves.

If external support is available a full scale rehabilitation shelter / Home will be established and a project will be taken up providing shelter, nutrition, health care education, recreation, facilities. Extensive survey will be conducted, the street children will be sent back to their families as many as possible.

II. CHILD LABOUR :

India is a developing country fast growing and struggling to stand by the super powers in the near future. But in the case of child development it is far behind. The issue of child Labour could not be solved due to unemployment, famine, hunger, starvation in the rural people and slums.

There are 25 crores of child labourers globally, working hard for bread to meet their hunger, out of which majority children are in India as per a survey. There are above 20 crores of children 6 to 14 years of age in India, but out of which 50% are not able to go to school due to the reason of their own like poverty hunger etc.

ILO has found child Labour is prevailing in India more than in any other country in the world. More child labourers are there in Andhra Pradesh. 5 to 14 years boys and girls are 1.75 crores in Andhra Pradesh. 45 lakhs not going to school, out of 45 lakhs the child Labourers are 18,88,341 out of which 5,32,000 are the girls and remaining 13,50,341 are boys.

The Govt. of India is planning and working to the best, but the task of child Labour could not be controlled due to the monster hunger and its sister poverty. As per 10th five year plan 2002 - 2007. The Govt. of India targets are a) Reduction of poverty ratio 20% by 2007 and 10% by 2012. b) Gainful employment. c) Universal access to Primary education by 2007. d) Increase in literacy to 72% by 2007. And 80% by 2012. The Govt. of India introduced child Labour prohibition and the regulation act 1986 enacting to curb the problem of child Labour. The Law mandates that child under 14 years must be kept away from” HAZARDOUS” jobs in factories.

Even though several programmes are introduced by the State / Central Govt. including mid day meals the Govt. is unable to reach the target and lives of the rural /slum people could not be improved. The child Labour is inevitable to meet the hunger in the rural and slum poor.

GHWA has taken up survey in the rural villages on the dropouts and motivated the parents to send back to school. Sevral of awareness camps were organized on the child rights and prohibition of child Labour in the rural people. Several children of aged 12 to 14 were advised to send for learning mechanism works, like two-wheelers, cycles and canning etc.

The plan is to establish residential school with vocational training facilities to meet their future.

III. PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF BLINDNESS (CHILDREN) :

India is a developing country. Blindness in the rural slum poor children is developing rapidly due to poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition and non-awareness on taking simple precautions. Vision defect is developing in the children and old aged un-noticed.

Andhra Pradesh is one of the states standing in front in developing blindness. As per national blind control programmes statistics, more than 15 lakhs blind people are in India. Apart from them 56 lakhs people have vision deficiency as per the survey. The people who cannot count the fingers away from a distance of 6mtrs are there in rural poor ; woman in more number.

As per a survey one child is going blind per one minute. In Andhra Pradesh more than one lake children have no proper vision. The problem of blindness is very much prevailing in the rural people than in urban people.

REASONS :

Major causes are mal-nutrition, (Deficiency of Vit.A) Diabetic, Infection, hereditary, over strain, failure of timely remedial action, more strain by viewing T.V. The people above 40 years of age, 3.5% are getting blind due to glaucoma, 44% due to cataract, and 8% due to damage of corneal.

The preventive steps in the state are nominal. When compared with other main states, the medical services in the rural people are very less. Out of 1370 PHCs in the state, ophthalmic Assts are available only in 356 out of 60 area hospitals; surgeons are available in 7 hospitals only. Eye donors are not coming forward due to several reasons. 1 Lakh people are suffering with corneal problems. Preservation facilities of donated eyes are also very much less in the state.

Major group of people who are suffering the most is children and old aged. Night blindness and permanent blindness in the rural children is much more due to mal-nutrition and Vit.A deficiency. Vit.A level in children is most important to reduce the mortality rate and prevention of blindness.

GHWA has organized several awareness generation camps on the care of eye and vision in the rural people and schools. About 10,000 Vit.A capsules were distributed among children of age 3 to 5 years in 3 doses of 2 lakhs IU with Vit-E (USP) 40 IU. GHWA has arranged few cataract operations and supplied glasses to old people.

If any donor agency steps forward eye clinics with proper facilities will be installed in rural people. GHWA is in hunt of donor agencies.

IV. PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF HIV/AIDS :

In the history of world, most dangerous calamity is Aids, has become a serious burning problem to the scientists and Physicians to arrest the epidemic. It is spreading like a wild fire, very silently in the people due to unawareness on the deadly syndrome and failing to follow protective measures. On account of this silent killer HIV/AIDS, the youth, earning people are very badly affected and the Nation’s economy and growth is seriously disturbed. Women and children are mostly victimized due to behavioral lapse of the men.

As per the latest survey one human is infected with HIV in a short spell of 3-4 seconds on the globe, out of which 90-95% do not know that their precious life is going to end silently soon. The Aids is reducing the life span of a victim 40 to 50%. It is much more in case of poor, children, and aged. Millions of women becoming widows, children becoming orphans. The victims are neglected and deserted, by their own people and community. They are forced to stay in the streets begging for food and die some where un-noticed and un-cared.

As per UN Aids 35.5 million people are living with HIV globally. Out of which 4.3 millions infected in 2006. There were 2.9 million Aids deaths in 2006 globally. The rate of infection from 2004 to 2006 increased to 10% and the position of 2007 may be the double the rate of last two years. Most of the cases are still to be detected and left unscreened or unreported. By the end of the next 5 years it is estimated fresh cases are likely to rise to 20-25 millions and by another decade the entire world population will have to suffer with Aids, if no ADEQUATE SERIOUS STEPS are taken by the developed countries.

Now India is standing next to Africa with 5.2 million HIV cases. South India is alerted as dangerous zone and Andhra Pradesh is well in advance with 4 lakhs positive cases of HIV. The poor and the weaker sections are facing deaths very early due to failing to notice the infection, negligence and lack of proper care and support.

GHWA with meager funds have taken up several awareness generation camps work shops among the high risk groups like sex workers, truck drivers, Rly running staff, street children, commercial cooks, alcohol addicts etc. Due to lack of funds more programmes could not be held to many more people.

Even though the state and Central Govt. are taking several steps to control the spread of the HIV, the action is not taken as fast as the wild spread of the Syndrome.

In Uganda more than 1000 NGOs are working to control the Aids, where as in Andhra Pradesh not even 100 NGOs are working while the population of Andhra Pradesh is 4 times more than Uganda. In such case 4000 NGOs are required to combat the rapid spread of Aids in Andhra Pradesh. The funding agencies / donors who are like minded, sympathized with these victims of Aids should come forward to support financially the NGOs working for the prevention of HIV. If any funding agency is prepared to support, GHWA, we will be pleased to work for them and become partners to save several innocent people from the danger of dreaded HIV.

ACTION PLAN :

1. Extensive steps will be taken to reduce the rate of transmission by organizing awareness camps in the public and among the vulnerable / marginalized population groups. The strategies like behavioral change, counseling, safe sex, treatment of STDs, any other action required will be initiated.
2. Adolescent groups / college students will be educated with basic facts on HIV and other methods to protect them-selves from the dreaded disease. Volunteers from the senior students will be chalked out and trained them to take the preventive methods to youth to protect themselves.
3. Setting up of telephonic counseling services, printing wall posters, and distribution of leaflets in local language, condoms supply, care and support to the positive cases will be initiated.
4. Voluntary screening will be followed duly under taking rigorous survey.
5. The sex workers and their children will be educated to stay away with the flesh trade and self employment schemes will be introduced.

V. REPRODUCTIVE AND CHILD HEALTH CARE :

The country means not the dust. But it consists of people. The abnormal growth of population is the dread enemy for the well being and economical growth of the Nation. The root cause of the birth of child is the woman or mother. Due to not adopting safe motherhood, several mothers are dying at the time of delivery or subsequently. Due to ignorance, negligence of mothers, the infants and children are dying and they are not able to celebrate first birthday. Several female children are not able to peep into the beautiful creation of God due to foetucide / abortions on account of gender discrimination evil in the society.

In order to over come all the problems in the reproductive process the Govt. of India have introduced reproductive and child health care programmes.

To achieve the targeted goals, Govt. of India has introduced a three tiered system of sub centre, PHC (Primary health Center) CHC community health center with prescribed medical and Para medical staff strength to cover the needs of rural people to deliver prompt medical and health services for the well being of the families.

Despite of planning and introducing of net work of health centers in the rural areas, the achieved targeted goals are very discouraging. Instead of several five year plans, the out come is poor due to many failures like in-adequate allotment of budget, insufficient staff (Medical, Para Medical), in-adequate facilities, in-adequate equipment, in-adequate medicines, in-adequate commitment of the Govt. and the staff responsible, indifferent behavior of the staff, misuse of available medicines, lack of dedication, sincerity and other several reasons.

MMR, IMR, CMR is still not under control. The Control of the birth rate is not satisfactory. Health status of women and children in the rural / slum poor is very very unsatisfactory. Nutrition status in the women and children is leading to very serious problems.

As per latest survey one woman die in every five minutes in India due to pregnancy related complications. This is only a conservative estimate since more than 30% maternal mortality cases go un-reported. The MMR rate in India is high i.e. 540 women die within 42 days after delivery for one Lakh of live births. MMR in rural people is 619 per 1 Lakh of live births. The statistics show MMR is high in SC, ST people compared to other communities in rural population. IMR is stagnated @72 per 1000 live births for the last several years. One child is dying out of 11 children with in the age of 5 years due to failure of timely medical assistance. Out of which female children deaths are more. In India 1/3 infants are given birth with less than normal weight. 80% women suffer with anemia. About 19 to 20 Lakh infants could not celebrate first birth day, about 80% women in India are anemic. Monitorable targets to reduce MMR by 20% per 1000 live births, IMR by 45% per 1000 live births by 2007 failed as per 10th five year plan.

The main reasons for all the failures are ignorance, illiteracy, non-awareness, poverty, mal-nutrition, tradition, superstition in women of rural population. Institutional delivery is neglected. Trained attendant lacking. About 65% of births taken place at home without assistance of trained attendant.

Hemorrhage, sepsis, anemia, obstructed Labour, toxemia are major causes of maternal deaths. Natal care is ignored. Lack of nutrition, Essential new born care, immunization, defiance of Vit-A, non awareness on infection, failing of timely action on diarrhoea are the common causes of IMR.

Several awareness genaration camps were organized among the rural women explain the main causes for MMR are due to delivery at home by illiterate and untrained persons, poor nutrition status, neglecting natal care and institutional delivery, failure to notice dangerous signs of complicated pregnancies. The women were made clear that most of such deaths can be averted if timely medical care is availed. They were advised pregnant women should get at least three antenatal checkups at a health center, take adequate nutrition diet, iron and folic acid tablets for 100 days, in case of complication rush to nearest health center thorough check of after delivery etc.

The plan of GHWA is to establish a fully equipped medical unit and a mobile medical van with all facilities to improve the health status of women in rural population and bring down IMR and MMR considerably.

VI. HEALTH EDUCATION :

Other than Aids, T.B. Malaria, Cancer, Hepatitis also causing alarm in India and could not be controlled.

T.B :

T.B. is prevailing in 35 countries if not treated; each case will spread 10 to 15 cases per annum. Every year 1% of people infected with TB in the world. T.B. thrives on poverty and social disruption. It is a close companion of Aids.

Half of all adults of India are probably infected with TB. Two million people develop TB each year. Half a million die annually. One person every minute. It kills more than any other infectious diseases. Unless urgent remedial steps are taken more than 40 lakhs people in India will die of TB by next decade. India has largest number of TB cases compared to other nations in world. It accounts 3rd of global TB burden, twice in number compared with China.

Poverty, the social stigma attached to TB and long treatment for 6 months made it difficult public health problem. Poor diagnostics and treatment followed by the doctors, drug resistance, forms of TB and Aids complicated the situation.

MALARIA :

Government of India expert committee report says all most all the main cities in India are suffering with Malaria. In General June to November, the cases are more. Due to spreading of mosquitoes the disease prevailing from May onwards. If no timely action taken prevention is also will not be possible and the eradication could be a dream.

In the State 29 cities very often attacked with the disease as per Govt. of India’s report. Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Vizag are most suffering. Most of the cases do not know the actual disease from which they suffer and loosing time. Most of them die even without getting medical aid. Agency areas are seriously affected.

In the last 15 years 5 crores of malarial cases expired as per estimates.

HAPATITIS :

Highly asymptomatic liver disease caused by the Hepatitis C. Virus. (HCV) is fast spreading in India. WHO report says that HCV often described as a “Viral Time Bomb” to strike double the rate of HIV. The number of HCV patients in India is more than 50% cases of Europe and USA. WHO reports that 5.1 million Indians suffering from HIV/Aids, around 12 millions carry HCV.About 30% of HIV patients simultaneously suffer from HCV.

Three percent of people in Andhra Pradesh carry HCV. The number could be higher as the data was collected based on Medical screening at Laboratories. The undetected HCV population might be larger because the virus does not show symptoms straight away.

There is no vaccine to prevent HCV unlike the other Hepatitis Varieties. Only the way to avoid HCV infection is to follow prevention and precaution steps.

CANCER :

6 Million New cancer cases came to light in developing countries every year. 4 million cancer patients die every year in developing countries. One million more than Aids cases die in these countries. Cancer is preventable and most curable of major life threatening diseases to day. Unless the current trend changes cancer cases may raise to 70% of global cases in the developing countries. Early detection, advance technology, promising treatment options will certainly counter the situations.

World wide tobacco is causing more premature deaths from cancer, than any other single agent. There are 1.1 billion smokers are in the world, 80% in developing countries, liver cancer killed 5 Lakh people around the world every year. Hepatitis B. virus is the cause of the most of these cancer cases.

In women breast cancer, uterus cancer , vaginal cancer and in men prostrate cancer, throat cancer, liver and lung cancer are very much alarming.

“Health is wealth and Health for all” Government of India plan is unsuccessful. GHWA has taken up “Prevention is better than cure” is the best remedy. A large number of health education camps were organized on awareness on all the above diseases like precautions and also preventive care to be taken.

GHWA organized free medical camps in the rural and slum people in the rainy and winter seasons when the epidemics and viral diseases spreads. All the acute cases were treated on the spot and the chronic cases were directed to the Head Quarters General Hospital for further investigation and treatment.

AIM & PLAN :

GHWA is very much concerned on medical assistance to the poor. If any donor agency steps forward, it is our plan to take the medical assistance to the poor and slum to the door steps, because most of the deaths accrue due to negligence, improper care and treatment, lack of man power, inadequate equipment in the PHCs of rural area.

VII. LITERACY PROGRAMME :

The major burning problems of Govt. of India are literacy, poverty and health. These issues are standing unsettled especially in rural population. Illiteracy has become as the main root cause for the poverty. Unless the illiteracy and the main reasons for the long standing illiteracy in the rural people is addressed the poverty could not be alleviated. Hence the State and Central Governments are much concentrating on the improvement of the literacy. But it is still lagging behind. Despite of providing funds and programmes like “Sarva Shiksha Abian”.

The average literacy rate in India is standing at 65.35% and the rate of men is 75.85% but the women are held at 54.16%.

Coming to the position of literacy in Andhra Pradesh, the average rate is standing at 54% considered to be low when compared to the Nation’s rate. The rate of males literacy is 66.3% and females is 33.7% as per the statistics of 2006. The rate of literacy in men and women is also very low compared to the National level.

If the rate of literacy is taken in to consideration in the rural population, the women are 100% illiterates and men are 90% illiterates among Dalits.

Despite several statements by the state and central Governments efforts said to have been initiated to improve the literacy percentage, the progress achieved among the economically backward women and men is Nil. They are still in darkness of illiteracy; they are struggling with the poverty sub merged up to brims. They are none to sympathies with them from heart except by lips.

The population of India is standing at 112 crores in 2006. The percentage of Dalit population is 45%. If the literacy position, poverty, employment is raised, the reigns of Govt. of India will fall in to the hands of economically weaker sections. The upper caste system will not be able to rule the country. Because the upper caste community does not want to bow before the economically weaker sections, these people are not allowed to rise from bottom level. Hence the illiteracy is stagnated at 100% in women and 90% in men even after 60 years of independence to India.

As seen the budget every year 2500 crores are being allotted for the purpose of literacy / education. Andhra Pradesh is standing at 5th place in Indian states in respect of population. There are still.

Illiterates in the age group of :

5 to 14 years. 45, 00,000
15 to 35 years. 1, 09, 00,000
36 to 50 years 75, 00,000

This is only as per a survey but the actual may be much more.

The illiteracy is the main enemy and cause for the un-development of the Dalit Community in the rural population. Hence they are unable to counter present social evils like injustice, inequality, untouchability, unemployment, poverty, sickness, atrocities, exploitation, victimisation, suppression, debt slavery, bonded Labour. The hunger, the famine, malnutrition are taking away their lives.

Still there are several villages having no pre schools with in the radius of 3kms and High school with in 5kms. If parents are literates, the children also become educated. If they are totally illiterates, they will not allow the children for education.

Unless the total literacy is achieved, the Nation will have to remain in partial darkness and may not be able to look perfectly. The voice of Govt. of India “Education for all” has become futile. Hence GHWA has taken literacy programmes in the rural people. Every year 50 men and women are trained in this programe, trained to read and write and carry out simple mathematics. They are showing much interest after recognizing their position of the present and past in respect of literacy. Now they can read, write and also encouraging the drop out children to go to schools.

If external support is available, the programmes will be taken to many more villages and a residential school will also be opened for formal education and vocational courses for better employment opportunities. The main evil of the rural people such as illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, hunger, malnutrition, sickness etc shall be addressed stage by stage.

VIII. SELF HELP GROUPS OF WOMEN: (To counter debt slavery) :

Food for all could not be achieved by the Government of India instead of several programmes introduced. International community set a target to reduce poverty of 20 millions to half of it has become futile despite several steps and the programmes. Poverty and hunger are closely related. Right to food is equivalent to right to live. Denial of food leads to violence. Hence hunger is the root cause for several evils like crimes, unsocial elements, in the society. In the world more than 80 crores suffer with hunger out of which women and children are more.

Hunger sufferers are more in rural and slum people. Food security has become a dream in the people most of them are badly suffer with the unemployment which leads to poverty, famine, and hunger. The employment of the rural women is agricultural Labour which they will find maximum 6 to 7 months in the year and all the other lean period they struggle hard for food due to lack of employment. In order to survive the women and children, the bread winner has to go for debts with the land lords or money lenders with high rate of interest.

Due to failure of monsoons, draught, crops failure, mechanization, some times cyclones and floods etc the agricultural labourers are maximum suffered. Unable to repay the debts well in time, they are victimized and exploited by the money lenders. Out of this bad usuries credit culture most of the debtors are becoming bonded labourers, young women are becoming prostitutes by selling their body on account of hunger.

To counter the evil of the usuries credit culture, GHWA has organized 25women self help groups of savings at rupees 10 to 15 per month, without matching grant, rotate the savings among the needy member with small rate of interest. All the savings were managed by the group leader and overall programme was monitored by the animators and co-ordinator. Monthly forums will be organized to sort out any problems arising and the solutions are given then and there.

These programmes will enable the agricultural Dalits to counter the evil culture of usurious money lending system of the land lords / money lenders. This is a slow process to help one to the other and one for all. The programmes are yielding favorable results in the groups.

If financial support is available more villages will be chosen and organized SHGs of women for savings for their small urgent needs and combat the debt slavery.

IX OLD AGEED :

India is a poor country and in the stage of socio - economic development. The people are struggling to meet both the ends. Even though the state and Central Governments. Have introduced programmes to have a steady control on the rise of population, yet there is draw back. The rise of population could not be totally arrested. The constitution of small family could not be practiced. The bread winning members are struggling very much to plan for the development of their children, Health, Education, Employment and Marriage etc. In such case majority of the families forced to work both the wife and husband for the welfare of their children. Some of them could not take proper care of their beloved children due to their busy schedule of work. In these circumstances the old aged who have sacrificed their youth, health, wealth sweat for their children are very much neglected and the position of some of the old aged have almost become just like waste paper thrown in the dustbin and use and through things.

The agony, sorrow, distress of the totally neglected old aged actually leading to the situation of suicidal death to end their solitary, melancholic unwanted presence by their own children who enjoyed all their benefits ex childhood to the married stage. Majority of the old aged do not have any assets of their own to support them selves in their old age among the people live below poverty line in the rural and slum population.

At the present there are 8 crores of old aged of above 60 years of age in the country out of which 40 percent are from below poverty line? In the 20th century beginning, the average age was 20 years and the number of old aged were 1.2 crores but now the average age of the old aged has become 65 years. By the year 2025 the strength of the aged is estimated to increase by 17.5 crores.

The old aged do not have any financial resources to support their needs related to health condition, recreation, peaceful living and peaceful death also. Some of them totally neglected at the stage of death and lost rights were not properly celebrated. No morality on the aged by their own sons and daughters. Due to separate family no one is taking care of old aged on account of their problems.

GHWA is distributing rice of 5 kgs for head every month for about 30 such neglected old aged, two pairs of dress supplied once in a year, due to paucity of funds GHWA could not provide help too many more. If support is available a foster care unit for 30 aged people will be established.

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord.
And that which he hath given will He pay him again”
Prov. 19:17 (Bible)
