Healthy Ageing

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 - 2012

From the President’s DESK

Mr. Mathew Cherian, Chief Executive, HelpAge India, is given a traditional welcome by 60 plus Thangam Ranganayagi, an elderly resident at the Tamaraikulam Elders Village in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu (TN).

CEO at the age 30, Mathew Cherian is a man who

believes he will never retire from social work. He plays

the guitar, loves reading, a first look at this unassuming

man, doesn’t strike you as a passionate & demanding

CEO of an organization. But look closer and there is

much to discover, learn and most of all imbibe.

With tremendous patience, drive and a passion to help

those disadvantaged in society, Mathew Cherian is the

force behind HelpAge India.

“Everyday as I go to work, I see so many elderly

begging at the traffic lights, sleeping on pavements

with tattered clothing, but the worst of all is the look in

their eyes, one of ‘dying hope’ and it drives me to work

harder. Whether one accepts it or not, we all are going

to get old one day,” says Cherian.

A BITS Pilani (Rajasthan), product with a B.E.

(Honours) degree in Civil Engineering, Mathew was

well qualified for a cushioned corporate career. He was

only 22, when suddenly one day reality of a different

kind hit him and changed his life path forever.

“I was working for an American oil drilling company in

Mumbai, close to Nariman Point. It was a routine job

which paid well. One day as I got out of work, I saw a

bunch of street kids shuffling through the garbage, and

eating whatever leftover food they could find. I gave

them some money at the time, but as I went home I

couldn’t get that image out of my head, here I was

having a fancy lunch each day at work and right outside

my office they were these kids looking for food at a

garbage dump. This set me thinking.”

So he with his close friend late Sanjoy Ghose, decided

to visit the more poverty stricken tribal villages on the

outskirts of Mumbai.

“For me the place was a revelation, I had seen villages

in Kerala but had never witnessed such abject poverty

and backwardness. The village had no healthcare, no

education. People were living in complete filth and

dirt,” says Cherian.

He went on do some more volunteering with other

social workers like Baba Amte, working in rural areas.

Then IRMA, Institute of Rural Management Anand

(Gujarat) came into being offering a PG Diploma

course, and he and Sanjoy went on to become a part of

its first batch of students.

His journey then took him to Nagpur in1987 to head the

Oxfam branch there, to look after their Maharashtra leg

of work, after which he was transferred to Delhi, and

then went on to work for Plan International as their

South Asia Representative from 1995 to 1998. Later, he

set up CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) in India,

primarily to fundraise for local NGOs.

he operations of HelpAge India (HI) during 2011-12 are comprehensively covered by the report of the Governing Body and Audited

Accounts. In addition, I am pleased to take the opportunity of addressing the Hl Community - the donors, the Government, the employees and everyone who has helped or even thought of helping.

In the 34 years of HI's existence, the enormous changes all around us are reflected in the needs of the beneficiaries of HI's work and thus in the nature of the work itself. India is a young country with the average age of its population at 35 or less.

At the other end of the spectrum, the elderly are lonelier, isolated, neglected, actively discriminated against or “merely” forgotten or ignored. And the numbers are huge – 100 million soon. More than ever, they long for a life with care, company, dignity, independence and respect. To counter these influences and their obviously harmful consequences, HI has successfully commenced initiatives which over a period, change attitudes. SAVE, a programme with schools, aims to sensitize children both to the need to help the needy elderly and the many benefits of mixing freely with them to gain the immense advantage from their company, wisdom, knowledge, care, warmth and love.

To encourage older people to help themselves, HI has successfully started Elders Self-Help-Groups in a number of States. This programme demonstrates such apparent benefits that several States have expressed appreciation and provided support. Efforts continue in order to create awareness among the elderly to learn about and claim their rightful dues under Government programmes. In addition to the new initiatives to bring about long term changes in attitudes towards the elderly, HI continues with its well known “normal” activities of providing mobile medical care, supporting cataract operations, disbursing financial help, running physiotherapy centers and a few homes for the elderly. The Government of India recognizes and supports HI's work and considers it as a partner in alleviating the life of elders in their evening years.

The environment for charitable organizations, particularly those well organized and run such as HI, is an increasingly difficult one. Donations from international agencies are virtually at a standstill, domestically there are some signs of donor fatigue and regrettably increasing cynicism and indifference, while the economic situation is not exactly conducive. These aspects need to be addressed in new ways and in a sense, all of us at HelpAge India have to become fundraisers. The tax regime is unfortunately directed to charities of a different character but we make continuing efforts to demonstrate the need for relief for good, honest work.

My thanks and deep appreciation to the donors, the Government and many other friends of HI and particularly its devoted, loyal and untiring staff and management. The Governing Body has provided ever helpful and positive support, for which I am grateful. I look forward with confidence to continuing our work to bring a smile to the faces of our elderly citizens.

GOVERNING BODY

From the President’s DESK

It isn’t often one gets the chance to have a heart-to-

heart chat with the CEO of one’s organization. A man

on whose shoulders lies the tremendous responsibility

of helping the disadvantaged elders of the country,

keeping transparency of the organization in mind,

keeping up the consistent efforts to sustain the good

work and be honest and accountable to all its donors.

It was a little difficult to get him to sit down and talk

about himself. But I had been working with him for the

past 8 years and was curious and determined. Finally

I convinced him that it would help me and others

understand what drives him to come to work

everyday. Maybe there was some learning in there for

all of us.

The Man behind the Mission

President Emeritus

Mr. M. M. Sabharwal

70 plus, Subal Prasad (left) of Hosir village, District Bokaro (Jharkhand), listens attentively to MMU doctor Dr. Gajendra Prasad Singh's medical advice at the Youth Center Hosir (MMU site).

As we grow older, the need to take care of our health becomes more and more

important to lead healthier and happier lives. Some are fortunate to have the

resources to take care of themselves in later years, but many like 70 year old Subal

have nowhere to turn too. It is for elders like him who cannot afford or access basic

healthcare, HelpAge's Mobile Medicare Units (MMUs) provide free and basic

healthcare services. Currently, HelpAge has 75 MMUs operating across the country

providing Allopathic and Ayurvedic treatment to elders like him.

A thinker, a believer & a

leader, Late P.L. Roy

more popularly known

as 'Hurricane', departed

from this world leaving

the HelpAge family with

fond memories and a

deep sense of loss.

Hurricane was intro-

duced to the HelpAge

family by Mr. M.M. Sabharwal, President Emeritus,

HelpAge India, who brought him onto the HelpAge

Governing Board. From his schooling in Doon School,

Dehradun, to his graduation from Emmanuel College,

University of Cambridge (UK) the road for Hurricane

was chartered well for the corporate sector. He went on

to hold leading posts in the sector from being the Sales

Director at Metal Box Co. India to the Managing

Director of Alfred Herbert & GEC.

A charismatic man, always willing to think out-of-the-

box, Hurricane true to his name wanted to bring about

change in society and help those who couldn't help

themselves. His meeting with Sabharwal seemed

destined to fulfill that very intrinsic need in him and he

became a major motivator in HelpAge's drive to help

the disadvantaged elderly.

Quick-witted and always with a smile on his face, he

had a great sense of humor.

He made a conscious effort to know the members of the

HelpAge family at all levels, their ideas on bringing

about a positive change in the lives of the elderly in their

regions, the ground reality, hiccups they faced in their

endeavor and their vast knowledge of elder needs. His

visit to the Tamaraikulam Elders Village in Cuddalore

(TN) and Kalyan Ashram (Kolkata) are still

remembered with great fondness by the elders residing

there and staff members.

He believed in the power of communication and its

strength to empower the cause of those disadvantaged

and left a lasting impression wherever he went.

HEALTHCARE emembering urricane R HIt was obvious that a person like him would choose a

like minded partner for life, and so he met Amita

Joseph, an equally strong willed, sensitive and driven

woman who too wanted to help the less fortunate. He

was at that time heading Oxfam, as its Country Head

in 1991 and Amita was also working in the same

organization.

“Amita and I are each others strength. We believe in

the same things and want to help those who can’t help

themselves,” says Cherian.

A father of two beautiful daughters, it’s obvious he is

the more indulgent parent of the two.

“I’m a morning person, I get up at about 5 am do my

Yoga and exercise, and by 6 am I am ready to cook

breakfast for my daughters. From Dosas to French

fries, their wish is my command,” he adds with a fond

smile. “I then drop them off to school and then head to

work.”

In 2002, Mathew joined HelpAge India heading the

Programme department, his knowledge and

experience from the field brought a fresh breath into

HelpAge’s scope of work. But it was for a short while,

as he soon left. But it wasn’t for long, for in 2004,

HelpAge wanted him back and this time at the helm of

things and so he joined as Chief Executive, HelpAge

India.

There has been no looking back since then for

Cherian. It’s been 8 years and he feels there is still

more to do, more to give.

“I understand the needs of elders, both children and

elder needs have a lot in common. I have a deep sense

of responsibility, I love what I do and I don’t think of it

as work at all. I’ve learnt a lot at HelpAge. I’ve also

understood retirement in its fullest sense. Most people

in India think of retirement as the time when they stop

working after 60. But technically keeping oneself

active even after one stops working, means one has

not retired. Mr. Sabharwal (90 plus) our President

Emeritus, is one such person who epitomizes Active

Ageing.”

Mathew Cherian, a calm, honest and humble man is

truly an inspiration for all. He left me with much to

dwell upon.

medicines did not suit him and the

irregular attendance of the staff in the

PHC made matters worse. For major

treatments, there was no other option

but to go to nearby towns which were

60 to 120 kms further from the village.

Subal could barely walk.

In October 2011, he heard of

HelpAge's MMU operations nearby

and approached it with hope. After a

detailed examination by the MMU

doctor, he was diagnosed with a severe

case of diabetes with his sugar levels

70 plus Subal Prasad of Jharkhand,

worked as a laborer in an explosive

factory for most of his life, till in 1995

the factory was shut down due to

heavy losses, forcing Subal along with

other workers to opt for voluntary

retirement. Soon ill-health and

weakness started taking its toll on

him. Dependent on his son, with no

job in hand and a deteriorating

medical condition, the next 6 years for

Subal were hard. He tried the local

Public Health Centre (PHC) but the

sky rocketing. Treatment began

immediately and soon Subal started

responding to it. His Sugar level came

down and he started feeling stronger .

Today, he walks confidently to the

MMU location. A regular patient of

happy, independent and has found a

He will be deeply missed .

65 plus Ramchandran was found in the compounds of Lucknow's famous Gautam Buddha Park, shriveled up and in

tattered clothing, trying to protect himself from the incessant rain. He couldn't walk. After receiving a call from a Good

Samaritan, Ms. Rashmi Mishra, from the HelpAge Lucknow Elder helpline rushed to the spot to his aid and called for the

Lucknow Mobile Medicare Unit (MMU). Ramchandran was given some immediate medication, then taken to the nearby

Trauma Centre, from where he was then referred to the nearby Mental Hospital. HelpAge lodged an FIR with the local Police

hoping to track his family down but to no avail, as all information given by Ramchandran was about a life and family that

didn't exist. He had lost his memory. The HelpAge team then bought him some clothes and took him to the Missionaries of

Charity, ‘Prem Niwas’ - Home for the Dying Destitute. Today, Ramchandran might not remember his past, but he's found

new friends, a new home and a place to call his own.

Physiocare is essential with increasing age

in order to remain healthy and

independent. HelpAge has throughout the

country opened Physiocare Centres

through its Agecare facilities.

Loneliness, abuse, lack of awareness on rights of elders, are some of the reasons why

elders call the HelpAge Elder Helplines spread across the country in 22 locations. Over

the years the need for these Helplines has increased immensely. Sometimes the

elders just need someone to talk to, which highlights the grave problem of loneliness

among seniors in our country. Property disputes and harassment are another major

area where elders need help and legal guidance on how to tackle the problem. These

Helplines also serve as a contact point for people who want to help and often call when

they find an abandoned elderly on the streets. The HelpAge Helpline teams provide

these elders with shelter and care. In the forthcoming years more Elder Helplines will

be set up to help more such disadvantaged elders.

an emergency in the village or a

family facing mishap, the Dev Dhan

is then utilized and returned the

next harvest with interest.

Inspired by this concept, HelpAge

India along with the help of local

Elder Self Help Groups (ESHGs),

initiated a Grain Bank system.

To begin with, the ESHG members

brought in two fistfuls of grain from

home, which they then added to a

to address this problem leaning on

as a mark of solidity to augment the

programme further. Furthermore,

HelpAge sources the grain from the

local ESHG at the prevailing market

rate, thus helping the local

economy too.

37 ESHGs including 372 members,

have now been established in 10

villages in two blocks of Jhari and

Kelpur in Yavatmal District, making

the elders self reliant and self-

sufficient.

Self Sustainability Shelter & Care-giving

With each passing year the need for composite shelters and care giving facilities is on

the rise. Old Age Homes and Day Care Centres are becoming essential and there is an

increasing requirement for them. HelpAge supports these in different ways. Elders,

who have no roof over their heads and have nowhere to go, find not only a home in

these shelters but also a life away from abuse and destitution. For the urban well-to-

do elders, pay and stay home are an answer for a life away from the constant payment

of bills, property management, threat of crime and a place which is age-friendly

where they can unwind with like minded peers.

On the other hand, to take care of the needs of elders, care-giving training has become

an intrinsic part of the HelpAge programme module, where special training is given to

care-givers to take care of elders. Not to be mixed with domestic help, these care-

givers are trained solely to look after elder needs.

80 plus Promilla Singh lived a very

and she did. She went on to play at the

National level much against her

mother's protests.

“Girls just didn't play sports during

my time. I remember I would come

back home with torn clothes after a

good game, much to my mother's

despair,” she said.

Her memories of her husband come in

bits and pieces. When asked, she

breaks into a shy smile and said, “My

husband told me that - the first day I

met you I knew I would marry you.”

She was 25 then and it was love at first

HelpAge believes that each elder has the right to basic food, water and shelter,

without resorting to begging or being dependent. A right to a dignified life. It is to

fulfill this very need that it runs the Support a Gran programme, which covers the

basic needs of primarily destitute elders. In 2011-12, HelpAge reached out to 36,042

elders across 23 states under this programme.

A separate counter for elders in the Nagapattinam District Hospital where elderly patients seek help from the Palliative Care Nurse.

The Elder for Elders initiative by

HelpAge India is slowly moving

forward. Through the Comm-

unity based Palliative Care

project at Nagapattinam (TN),

the Nagapattinam District

Palliative Care Felici-tation

Centre has opened at the

District Hospital which provides

counseling, guidance and

treatment for elderly who

require Palliative Care.

The centre is guiding at least

200 elders through its helpdesk

every day, with the aim to

provide maximum help to the

elderly, through legal aware-

ness, counseling, emergency

care & much more.

In line with its objective of propagating the concept of 'Active Ageing',

HelpAge India now offers a facility that will encourage an independent way

of living for senior citizens within limited means. It is addressing the needs

of those 50 plus citizens that are facing the prospect of dwindling incomes

as they approach retirement or are already retired, through its AdvantAge Card programme. Through this, it

provides its card holders access to specially discounted prices on consumer goods, leisure products and services,

super markets goods, travel portals, travel services, hospital and clinic services, pharmaceutical products,

diagnostic labs, physiotherapy facilities etc. Currently there are over 450 Associates in over 35 towns and cities.

The uniqueness of this Card Programme lies in its ability to function as an enabler at many levels. At the core of the

programme is the website www.helpageadvantage.org which in addition to helping members search online for

discounts offered by category of goods, services and cities, also effectively becomes a common 'meeting ground' for

members, enabling:

•Social networking through the website: The website will soon offer members the facility to write blogs where

they can express their views and invite comments from other members. This will enable them to form communities

of like minded elders and give them a sense of belonging.

•Volunteering for a sense of purpose: Senior citizens acquire a lifetime of experience and expertise. They can

volunteer to share their skills with other members or their families. This will provide the volunteer members a sense

of purpose, a new meaning to life post retirement.

•Advocacy for elder issues: In using the website to voice their concerns on issues affecting senior citizens,

members will discover the power of their voice. Such a platform will enable HelpAge to incorporate and reflect

member opinions in its advocacy efforts.

It’s free and valid for life!

ADVOCACY

Many elderly in India are silent sufferers simply because they aren't

aware of their rights. Lack of awareness and advocacy, are major

reasons for this. HelpAge has been working over the past few years

advocating for the cause of elders in various areas, whether it be for

prevention of Elder Abuse, implementation for the National Policy of

Older Person or access to basic rights and entitlements.

Sima Sadhukhan proudly holds a copy of the Magistrate's Order directing her 2 sons to pay Maintenance.

60 plus Sima Sadhukhan, came to HelpAge’s Kolkata office one

morning accompanied by her 55 year old neighbour Jagadish Ram in

November 2011 to ask for help in filing a case against her stepsons.

Sima was her late husband's second wife. After his death, she had

barely time to grieve, when the harassment began.

Her stepsons despite having homes of their own, wanted to oust her

out of her home. It first started with verbal abuse, then mental

torture and finally reached the point of physical threats. Soon she

was forced to live in just one room. At times she was even locked out

of her home. Subsequently, a portion of the property was sold without

her consent or signature.

It had been 5 years of constant suffering for Sima. With no source of

regular income or any other support, even a basic meal for Sima

seemed unaffordable. Her only income being an interest of Rs. 2000

per month from a post office fixed deposit.

Ram found her in this state and decided to fight for her. He went to

court but justice was taking too long and they did not have anymore

financial strength to carry on litigation. They then had heard about

the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act

(2007), but had no idea how to proceed. They went from pillar to post

but no one was willing to help.

It was then he brought her to HelpAge, and Ms. Anuradha Sen,

Deputy Director-Advocacy (East) along with other staff members,

helped submit the Maintenance application form at the SDO

Barrackpore (WB) and a case was registered & filed. Soon Sima's

children received a Notice from the SDO intimating the date of

hearing.

HelpAge ensured she received police protection during the duration

of the case and assisted the Tribunal. Finally the Tribunal passed an

order stating that both children should pay a certain amount to her

every month by money order.

Today, Sima is secure and is an inspiration to others who like her

have been silent sufferers.

Elder Abuse is a social evil which is a reality in India. In

order to better understand the underlying reasons and

consequences of this grave issue, HelpAge conducted a

research study which was released nationwide on the

eve of ‘World Elder Abuse Awareness Day’ (June 14).

HelpAge released a 9 city report on ‘Elder Abuse & Crime

in India’, which covered: Delhi NCR, Mumbai,

Hyderabad, Kolkata, Patna, Chennai, Bhopal,

Ahmedabad & Bangalore.

The study was conducted among lower income group

individuals with a sample size of 100 elderly per city (50

men & 50 women). These were compared with year

2010 findings of higher income group individuals

primarily, to compare the prevalence of Abuse among

different socio-economic strata of society.

Events held across nearly 30 towns & cities sought to

raise awareness on the issue. Signature campaigns,

rallies, walkathons, debates etc. were organized urging

people to support the ‘Fight Against Elder Abuse’.

REPORT FINDINGS (Highlights):

•Nationwide family members turn out to be the highest

abusers of the elderly.

•Nationally daughter-in-law emerged as the major

abuser of the elderly (63.4%), followed by the son

(44%) from the lower socio-economic strata, as against

the son (53.6%) who was the primary abuser in the

higher socio-economic strata as per the 2010 findings.

•More than one fifth of the elderly (22%) experienced

Abuse. While Bangalore tops Elder Abuse cases with a

shocking 44%, it is closely followed by Hyderabad

(38%), Bhopal (30%) and Kolkata (23%), the lowest

being Chennai (2%).

•Elder Abuse was highest among the 70 plus elderly and

mostly elderly women faced it due to dependence on

their sons.

•Dependency levels were high among the elderly, with

their main source of income coming in the form of

Remittance from children, which was nationally more

than half (55%) followed by pension (35%).

•About 72% of the elderly stay with their sons.

•66% of the elderly are financially dependent on

someone. Majority (85%) of the elderly reported

financial dependence for medical expenditure being

the highest (78%).

•Three fifth of the elderly reported change in cultural

values (57%) and lack of economic resources among

elderly (56%) as reasons for feeling increase in

incidence of Elder Abuse in the past 3 years.

•19% of India's elderly feel neglected. Reasons such

as 'family members are busy in their own lives/

work', 'family members don't really interact with

them' were voiced.

•Verbal abuse of elderly was highest in Delhi NCR,

Mumbai, Hyderabad & Chennai reaching 100%.

Physical Abuse was highest in Patna (71%) and

lowest in Ahmedabad.

•Half of the elderly reported facing abuse because of

lack of emotional support.

•The top four measures to control crime suggested

by the elderly were: 'Inform the Police about the

crime', 'Contact counselors to help deal with the

crime', 'Procedure for legal aid should be simple and

effective' and 'Contact Senior Citizen's Association/

RWA for help and guidance '.
