HelpAge India
HelpAge India is a secular, not-for-profit organisation in India, registered under the Societies’ Registration Act of 1860. Set up in 1978, the organisation works for ‘the cause and care of disadvantaged older persons to improve their quality of life’. HelpAge’s motto is ‘Fighting isolation, poverty and neglect’. It envisions a society where the elderly have the right to an active, healthy and dignified life. In 2020, it became the first and only Indian organisation to be honoured with the ‘UN Population Award’ for its exemplary work in the field of ageing.
It works through 26 State Offices across India, running numerous programmes on-ground, addressing elder needs and advocating for their rights. It strives to achieve this by taking a comprehensive approach to our programmes and interventions, ensuring seamless interlinkages between them and a holistic system of care for elders. The organisation’s programmes are focussed on direct impact in the areas of: Advocacy & Awareness, Agecare, Healthcare, Livelihoods & Disaster Management, Research & Policy.
