CASE STUDY:OLD AGED EARTHQUAKE VICTIM

Memabhai Menadbhai Ahir is a 70 years old watchman who lived in the remote village Rampar of Anjar Taluka. He has lived alone half of his life. He has lost his eye vision and is suffering from ammonia after the 2001 earthquake, so he cannot perform his watchman duty any more. 

When the PRAYAS team met him in the village he told them about his daily struggle to survive and about his needs for medical as well as livelihood supports. The Prayas team decided to try and help Memabhai and provided him with Rs.100/- per month from their own pockets. We are doing whatever we can, even though we know the support is very small and cannot meet his burning needs of aid.
