Purnayou Senior Citizens Social Welfare Organization started its journey in September 2018 with 30 like-minded people. Initially we started our work by social gathering through which we make the society aware of the concern of the aged and promote better understanding of ageing issues. We help the elderly become aware of their own rights, so that, they get their due and are able to play an active role in the society.
Old age is an unavoidable part of every human life cycle. It should be lived gracefully rather than grudgingly. But, here in Bangladesh, ageing is a major challenge. Aged people suffer from joblessness, proper health-care, malnutrition, loneliness, financial support and lack of freedom. Many older people are passing time in loneliness as nuclear families are on the rise. Indeed, elderly people are now alone everywhere – be it at villages or in cities.
Considering all these situation, we dream to establish a country where old age people, will get their every right with all facilities and security.
