Providing Food, Care & Love for Abandoned Seniors.
In India, millions of elderly people live in isolation, often facing chronic illnesses, disabilities, and severe poverty. With minimal family support, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate pensions, over half of the country’s 104 million seniors struggle daily to meet basic needs. Many live invisible and forgotten lives, urgently needing compassion and support who have no one else to turn to.

A Program Inspired by the Power of Compassion
Our Hope for The Elderly program was inspired by the incredible compassion of our Hope children, who took it upon themselves to help vulnerable elders in their communities. These young hearts saw the need and responded by offering food, companionship, and kindness to those who needed it most. Their dedication to serving others ignited a movement within Tripura Foundation, leading to the creation of this program that provides essential food, supplies, and dignity to abandoned elders.
HoPE and Care through Food & Hygiene Kits
Each Food & Hygiene Kit is a lifeline for elders with no one else to turn to, providing nutritious food and essential care items to support their health and dignity.
What’s Inside a Food & Hygiene Kit?
- Nutrient-rich food – Toor dal, chickpeas, semolina, rice, cooking oil, and essential spices (pepper, chili, coriander, turmeric, cumin, mustard seeds) to strengthen immunity and sustain well-being.
- Hygiene essentials – Body soap, detergent, coconut hair oil, toothpaste, and pain relief gel for comfort, cleanliness, and relief from ailments.
Each month, HoPE Center children and volunteers lovingly deliver these kits on behalf of our HoPE for the Elderly sponsors, ensuring elders receive consistent nourishment, improved health, and the care they deserve—without needing to beg for food. More than just essentials, these visits bring compassion, connection, and dignity to those who need it most.
Bringing Comfort and Dignity to Hope Elders
Completing the Circle of HoPE: Our Sponsors
At Tripura Foundation, our sponsors play a vital role in completing the circle of HoPE for our elderly. They are not just donors; they are cherished members of our Tripura family, bringing light, love, and dignity into the lives of abandoned seniors, helping them live with comfort and respect.
Thank you so very much for such a detailed and beautiful Hope for the Elderly report. We are mere channels, and so glad that help can flow through us. God bless these souls who are left with no help and such few resources. A heartfelt thank you to you for all your work.

Thank you so much for providing this wonderful report. Tears came to my eyes, especially in this period in which I care for my own elderly mother and in-laws. Every day I see how difficult old age, being disabled it is for some people …I am very grateful for the update and send Blessings to all of you who are part of making this happen!
