HelpAge India

A leading charity working for the disadvantaged elderly of India, HelpAge India has been active for over four decades. It has one of the largest mobile healthcare programs across India, providing free healthcare services to destitute elders.

Cataract surgeries are one of the cornerstones of this organisation. Cataract is a leading cause of blindness in India. HelpAge conducts more than 45,000 eye surgeries for the blind elderly across 21 states. This has helped over 9 lakh elders not only in restoration of eyesight but also going back to work as independent individuals.

HelpAge India also works towards providing palliative care to end-stage cancer patients. Pairing with several credible and competent hospitals, the organisation helps the poor elderly who cannot afford expensive medication for cancer.
