As part of its ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life for elderly women in rural areas, SARVAM organised a series of interactive health and wellness sessions on 17 July 2025 across ten villages. These sessions reached approximately 200 aged women, creating a space for awareness, connection, and empowerment.
Organised in small group formats to ensure personal attention and meaningful engagement, the sessions focused on the physical, emotional, and social well-being of elderly women, who often lack access to essential health knowledge and services. Health educators used visual aids and charts to effectively communicate important topics such as physical fitness, emotional resilience, and basic daily self-care practices. The simple, accessible approach helped bridge the gap for participants with limited or no formal education.
To add joy and energy to the learning, the programme incorporated interactive games and group activities, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. Participants were also taught easy home-based stretching exercises, promoting daily movement and physical vitality. These moments of shared laughter and engagement enhanced the social fabric of the group, combating isolation and boosting morale.
The sessions concluded with practical tips for healthy living, including the importance of hydration, nutrition, and maintaining supportive social relationships in later life. Many participants shared their heartfelt gratitude, noting that this experience not only increased their knowledge but also made them feel valued, seen, and connected to a larger community.
This initiative stands as a testament to SARVAM’s vision of uplifting the elderly with dignity, care, and holistic support, bringing meaningful transformation to gracefully aged lives in rural India.
