🌟 This Diwali, let’s shine a light on our elders! 🌟 As Diwali approaches, we wanted to shine some light on a very important question that our brand ambassador, the legendary Sharmila Tagore raised. She asked ‘Just because someone turns 60, should we overlook their needs?’ With over 138 million elders in our India and numbers projected to reach 319 million by 2050, shouldn’t they have the right to live with dignity, independence, and be able to access essentials like food, medicine, shelter, and literacy programs? Age should never be a reason to neglect their needs. This Diwali, we aim to support 5,000 elders with your help, ensuring HelpAge India's vital programs reach those who need it most. A little can make a big difference! Join us in empowering the lives of the elders and ensure they live fulfilling and dignified lives. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/gC6Tg4Gz Together, we can make a lasting impact! 💖 #ThisDiwaliBeTheDifference #DignityForElders #SupportOurSeniors #Diwali2024 #EmpowerElders

🌟 We’re halfway to our goal — will you be a hero for elders in need this Diwali? 🌟 For most of us, Diwali is a season of joy, love, and togetherness with family and friends.

By supporting us & in turn HelpAge India's programs, you can bring relief, dignity, and hope to 5,000 seniors who rely on these programs for healthcare, meals, and companionship.
