A home born from a heartfelt need.
As the school grew, socially conscious members of the public urged Velugu to take up a second neglected cause: elderly, destitute women abandoned by their families, left with nowhere to go. A multi facility care centre was opened in the same premises, and the first nineteen women were given a home — food, clothing, shelter, healthcare and affection.
The number soon grew. Today the oldage home lives in its own circular building on campus.
Our grannies, our advisors, our fun and laughter group.
In every way these ladies have made themselves at home. We can learn from them traditional folklore, gardening tips, how to make pickles — wisdom that time may forget.
Serene and confident now, they spend their days at leisure, doing needlework, joining yoga sessions, celebrating festivals, and keeping a loving eye on the children next door.
