At Cipla Foundation, we believe that collaborations are critical to ensure access to healthcare. Our partnership with HelpAge over 7 years has helped us reach vulnerable communities in 88 locations across 4 states. The mobile health units in Patalganga, Indore, Baddi, Bangalore and Kurkumbh drive in both health and hope. In Covid, it was only the dedication of the HelpAge teams that made it possible to fulfil our commitment to our communities. We are honoured to be their partner and hope to deepen our work together.
HelpAge India has been associated with SJVN since last 10 years in form of running Mobile Medical Units and their commitment towards serving the needy ones is exemplary. Due to their services SJVN is able to touch the lives of persons living in the far flung and hill terrain project area villages. I wish HelpAge may continue to serve the society.
HelpAge India caught my attention when I was just started my career in the late 90s. I have been a patron ever since. Due to the absence of social security systems in India, many low-income folks, unable to work as they get old, become destitute. Medical services are out of their reach when they need them most; sometimes, even basic nutritious food is hard to get. HelpAge is out there to support them. Become a patron today to experience the joy of helping others.
