For many elderly individuals living alone, going out to buy groceries can be physically challenging or even dangerous. NGO-led ration distribution reduces this burden, ensuring food security and offering peace of mind. Moreover, regular visits by NGO volunteers provide emotional support, helping to combat loneliness and depression, which are common among the elderly.
Ration programs also offer a sense of dignity and independence, as the elderly can prepare their own meals without relying on charity or neighbors. During emergencies such as pandemics or natural disasters, these services become even more critical. By providing ration support, NGOs not only address hunger but also create a lifeline of care and connection for the elderly, reaffirming their value in society and ensuring they are not forgotten.
