As people grow older, losing family support, income, or a safe place to live can leave them vulnerable to loneliness, neglect, and homelessness. In and around Puducherry, many elderly men have no secure home or family able to care for them.
While several residential homes already support elderly women in the region, there is a significant need for dedicated care for vulnerable older men.
Our Approach
Samugam plans to establish an Old Age Home for Men, attached to JALLY Home, providing a safe and caring environment where elderly men without shelter, resources, or family support can live with dignity.
The home will provide:
Safe space
Safe accommodation and daily care
Nutritious food
and essential needs
Healthcare
and assistance with medical needs
Presence
Companionship and emotional support
Peaceful environment
A peaceful and respectful living environment
But this project aims to offer more than basic care.
Building a Bridge Between Generations
Located alongside JALLY Home, the old age home will create opportunities for meaningful intergenerational connections between children and elders.
Children can learn from the experiences, stories, skills, and wisdom of older generations, while elderly residents can experience companionship, purpose, and the joy of being part of a community again.
Through shared activities, conversations, celebrations, and everyday moments, we hope to create a genuine family-like environment across generations.
Restoring Dignity in Later Life
Our goal is to ensure that no elderly man is left without a safe place to live, someone to care for him, or a community to belong to.
By bringing together care for the elderly and protection for children, Samugam hopes to create a community where every generation can feel valued, respected, and connected.
Your support can give an elderly man more than a roof over his head
Your contribution can give him dignity, companionship, and a place to call home.
