Children and Old Age Support
Caring for the Young and the Elderly – Our Duty, Our Pride
At The Josh Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a happy childhood and every elderly person deserves a life of dignity and care. In the remote, underdeveloped tribal areas of Gadchiroli district, Maharashtra, many children grow up without proper care, guidance, and education, while the elderly often struggle without support in their old age.
We are committed to changing this reality by providing love, care, education, and protection to the most vulnerable members of our society.
Why This Support is Crucial
Children in Tribal Areas
Many tribal children grow up without basic education and nutrition.
They face a high risk of child labour, malnutrition, and poor health.
Without proper guidance, many children drop out of school or become victims of addiction.
Elderly in Tribal Communities
Many elderly people live alone, without family support or income.
They often suffer from neglect, illness, and isolation.
With no social security, they struggle to meet their daily needs.
