HelpAge India focuses on improved access to health and eye care facilities, community-based services, and livelihood support for the elderly. In addition, it also supports programmes like old age homes and day care centres and the Adopt-A-Grandparent scheme.

Over the years HelpAge India has changed its orientation from implementing welfare projects to those that focus on development. It now lays stress on income-generation and micro-credit projects that enable the participation of Older Persons in the mainstream of society.
Furthermore, HelpAge India acts as the voice of the elderly and promotes their cause with the central and state governments. It is our endeavor to influence decision-makers to formulate policy that is beneficial to the elderly.
