| Paid old age homes are now available where care is provided for a fee but there are poor ones who are destitute and old people who have no one else to care for them. As a NGO of India, ‘Yatn’® is determined to shelter such old and destitute people. They are given shelter, food, clothing and medical care. A typical old age home will have the basic infrastructure of beds, medical care, nutritious food and care workers to attend to. |
| If you care for such destitute old aged people and want to aid them with food and shelter, please contact us at info@yatna.org, for sponsorship details or alternatively complete the contact form and our representative will contact you. |
