| Community Care |
|
A study of the community in India reveals many dark areas where care is needed and help is wanted. The people are largely poor and the society there cannot support itself. There are many traditions and superstitions linked to different communities, which force the people, many of whom are mainly illiterates, to blindly follow them for fear of social, and some times supernatural, punishment. One such community is the prostitute community in East Godavari District. The girls from this community are initiated into prostitution by their elders in the mistaken belief that this is their profession. AMG felt that something has to be done to educate these people and bring them back to normal life, and it started to do its best through the following services. AMG, out of compassion for their plight and respect for their contribution to the society in their active years, take care of them in its old age homes. AMG runs 4 Old age homes at Chilakaluripet, Kakinada, Peddapuram and Gundalapalli where 100 aged persons are provided shelter and other necessities. We are running 10 Mid Day Meal centers for aged persons at different places in Vizag; East Godavari; West Godavari; Guntur and Prakasam Districts. Nearly 400 persons are benefiting through these centers. Monthly rations and Monthly supports for aged persons are distributed at Vizag; East Godavari; West Godavari; Guntur Districts. Nearly 500 persons are benefiting through these projects. These senior citizens are provided with free food, shelter and medical care in their old age homes. AMG takes total care of their needs in their sunset years when they have been deserted by then and relatives and have become helpless.
