Bringing Comfort and Care to the Forgotten Generation

The elderly population, often referred to as the “forgotten generation,” deserves our utmost respect, care, and attention.

Supporting Widow Mothers to Build Independent Lives

Widowhood often comes with a set of challenges that are as emotional as they are economic. For many women, the loss of a spouse means not just losing a life partner but also a sense of financial security and stability. This becomes even more daunting when there are children involved. Sarthak Charitable Trust, with its unwavering commitment to social welfare, has stepped in to address these challenges. Through its initiative of supporting widow mothers, the trust is transforming lives and helping women regain their independence and dignity. The Harsh Reality of Widowhood In many parts of India, widowhood is accompanied by societal stigmas, financial hardships, and a lack of support systems. A widow mother’s struggle is twofold: managing her emotional loss while ensuring that her children have a stable future. Without adequate income or resources, many of these women are unable to meet basic needs such as food, education, and housing. Sarthak Charitable Trust recognized this pressing need and developed a holistic approach to address these issues.
