Building a Better Future for All
In the service of the society for more than two decades with an aim to create better world for both old and the young.
Our residents have been abandoned by their families and left to fend for themselves in their twilight years. But when they come to us, they find not just a home, but a family. We understand that these seniors have been through a lot of pain and suffering, and we are committed to bringing happiness and love back into their lives.
Our staff is the heart and soul of Akshaya Trust. They work with a passion that comes from a deep sense of empathy and a desire to make a difference. They give our residents the kind of care that only family can, and this is what sets us apart from other old age homes. Our residents feel safe, loved, and cared for, and they know that they have a place where they belong.
Our homes are more than just a shelter. They are a place where our residents find purpose and meaning in their lives. We organize regular activities and outings to keep them engaged and entertained. We take them on tours to visit temples and places of interest, and we see their faces light up with joy and excitement.
But what truly makes us proud is seeing our residents flourish in their new life. We see them regain their health, make new friends, and rediscover their love for life. We see them smile again, and it is the most beautiful thing in the world.
None of this would be possible without the support of our donors. We are deeply grateful to them for helping us make a difference in the lives of abandoned senior citizens. We hope that they will continue to support us as we strive to bring love, hope, and happiness to those who need it the most.
