Sponsor a Grandparent (Phase-II)

Sponsor a Grandparent (Phase-I) has been successfully running in Bhimdhunga- Kathmandu since January 2016. RH has been able to get individual sponsors for all 8 of the senior citizens under SAG-I Program. The supported senior citizens are the ones who are  unable to raise livelihood or get involved in any type of income generating activities. The project ‘Sponsor a Grandparent’ which, as the name suggests, supports senior citizens in need with basic supplies. The main target group for this project are the elders who are either living alone, those who cannot work or raise livelihood or who have been abandoned by their children. RH aims to help these elderly every month with ration and basic toiletries for hygiene enough for each month.

The project started from January 2016 (B.S 2073/10/02) with support to 8 senior citizens in Bhimdhunga and since RH has been able to get sponsors for all 8 of them, the SAG-II phase is being extended to Mandan Deupur Village in Kavre. The project is currently supported by Walk for Nepal (WFN) with support for 10 of the Senior Citizens. WFN will support the grandparents till December of 2018 and in the meantime, RH will search for individual sponsors to support the seniors for life.
