Helping the Old Aged

Elderly population in our country is growing. Sadly Senior citizens in many families are looked down upon as unwanted guests. The aged who were looked upon with respect and for guidance in the past are increasingly finding themselves alienated, with their children migrating to cities and metros as also abroad in search of greener pastures. In cities and metros, where there is space constraint for homes, the elderly are the one who is thrown out first. It is in the winter of one's life that a person needs greater care, love and affection. Unfortunately, the abuse of the aged is showing an upward trend over the years. Literacy has not made an impact on the youth to take better care of the aged. On the contrary, the more the educational qualifications of a youth, the greater is the likelihood of his neglecting them.

No wonder, more and more senior citizens are taking to old age homes, which is evident from the growing number of such homes in cities and even small towns. The neglected senior citizens curse their fate and bear the brunt but most of them remain tight-lipped about their sons and daughters, who have relinquished their duty towards them. We at 5Minutes for poor, will help well managed Old aged homes with materials and medicines and also organise feast on major festival days. JOIN OUR GROUP to help people of our parents age.

Medicines for the Poor

The poor are more susceptible to diseases. They don't have any medical insurance and diseases for any member of the family takes the financial position of the family off guard mainly due to the cost of the medicines for treatment. The poor has to depend mainly on the government hospitals for treatment which is free,but most of the medicines during and post hospitalisation has to be bought by these poor from their resources. Some has to sell their entire wealth for medication of their beloved ones and in some cases will be the sole bread earner for the family. We at 5Minutes for Poor will be distributing life saving drugs to poor, insure poor families under social insurance policies where there is government sudsidy (eg.universal health insurance), bear expenses for some major surgery etc for the poor.

Food for the Hungry

Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of hunger, 75% of them are children. Even though our country has progressed economically, poverty deaths are still very much prevalent. There are hundreds of orphanages in the country, some of them well managed, but short of funds.

We provide assistance to these orphanages with provisions, food materials, vegetables etc for preparation of wholesome meal to these orphan children. We also support agencies which distributes food packets to road side beggars. We also have been providing food to poor patients and those looking after them at government hospitals. We will be continuing this effort. So next time before you go for a party or to a restaurant please don't forget to spend 5 minutes on your computer to help provide food for the hungry.

Education for Children

There are millions of children who are not able to go to school due to the cost involved in education. eg: books, clothes, pen, pencil etc. In case of poor families, the parents send their children for work to earn additional revenue. In other cases children are made to do the household work instead of going to school.

There are many cases where the parents want to send their children to school but are not able to do so due to poverty. If there are more than one child, the male child gets preference for education and the girl child is made to remain at home. We at 5 Minutes for Poor will be supporting the children especially the GIRL CHILD with Educational Kits containing books, uniform etc required for the child to go to school. JOIN OUR GROUP and help hundreds of children go to school.

Welcome to 5 Minutes for Poor

Are you willing to spare 5 minutes a day for the poor. If so, you can help hundreds of poor/orphan children with food, clothing & education. Most of us have good education and enjoy good food every day. But there are millions of children who are deprived of both good food and education. Join our efforts to provide these children with food, clothing and education.

We are all blessed with great parents. But there are many old aged people thrown out to the streets and old aged homes. We will help the most well managed old age homes which is in need of funds. We will also be giving food to these old age homes on festival days. We all celebrate our festivals like Christmas, Ramzan, Deepavali etc with lavish dinners and sweets. Let us help the old aged also to celebrate the festivals.

There are millions of lives lost due to not access to cheap medical facilities and medicines. Some of the life saving medicines cost a fortune for most of the poor. We will help those poor people who cannot afford to buy medicines.

There is no religion, caste or creed for poverty and hunger.
