The elderly are becoming a greater proportion of India's population, and many of them are women who had a lifetime of underemployment before becoming too frail to work, but still have overwhelming financial responsibilities. Even food can be difficult for them to obtain. Jacintha Kumaraswamy, Founder of Sakti, staff, a volunteer, and the elder women beneficiaries tell how the project evolved as a community endeavour, what it provides, what its recipients face and how they are helped, and what else might be in its future.
