CASE STUDY: STORY OF A SELF-DEPENDENT OLD AGED

Khatijabai Idalbhai Nore is 60 years old and lives with her family in Khirirsra Mowar Vand of Anjar. She often borrowed money from villagers for her day-to-day needs because she was only able to earn around Rs.30-40 from her small jobs.

Through a door-to-door survey by Old Age Care Support Team Prayas became aware of her situation and provided her a camel cart. To the great, but happily surprise of the Prayas team Khatijabai paid the 3000/- back only a month after the support. Her daily income increased till Rs. 150/- as she now cuts woods, which she sells in the market.
