A large number of poor, abandoned, and helpless elderly individuals struggle daily without proper clothing or protection from changing weather conditions. Many of them live alone, suffer from financial difficulties, or depend on charity for survival. Lack of adequate clothing, especially during winter and monsoon seasons, exposes them to severe health risks, discomfort, and indignity.

To address this urgent humanitarian need, Parohitaishi Welfare Foundation has launched an Elderly Clothing Distribution Program aimed at providing clean garments, warm clothes, sarees, dhotis, blankets, and other essential apparel to poor and destitute senior citizens.
