Dear Friends and Supporters,
Greetings from BASS! We’re excited to update you on our meal program for seniors in Guntur from June to August 2024.
Thanks to your unwavering support over the past three years, we’ve been able to keep our program running strong. We’re truly grateful for your help.
Since 2020, we’ve been providing daily meals to 80 seniors at two centres in Guntur. They gather at our centres at 10 AM, enjoy each other’s company, and share meals that bring them joy.
We started this program during the COVID-19 lockdown to support seniors with challenging life stories, and it has continued to meet their needs. It’s been a place of comfort and community for them, helping to alleviate loneliness and poor health. The elderly are very happy to gather at the centre, meet others, and share their lives joyfully.
Unfortunately, this quarter we faced heavy rains in the area. Despite this, we have continued to provide daily meals and nutrition to the elderly.
However, we’re facing a donation shortage. We’ve only received USD 127 this quarter, which isn’t enough to cover the rising food costs. We need at least USD 500 a month to keep one centre open for 50 seniors.
We’re reaching out for your continued generosity. Any donation or monthly pledge can make a huge difference for these seniors.
Thank you for your ongoing kindness and generosity.
With gratitude,
