Who we are
A home built on community.
DROPSS began in 1999 with a simple conviction: no elder in rural Sivaganga should have to face old age alone. Today our home in Burma Colony is a place of morning yoga, shared meals, medical check-ups and the easy company of people who know one another.
Supported through the National Action Plan for Senior Citizens and the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, we care for more than 25 elders every day. Volunteers join us on Sundays, and local donors help us meet the everyday needs that formal support does not cover.
- A safe, supported home for 25+ elders
- NAPSRC benefits since 2012
- Daily meals, health care and yoga
- Volunteer Service Sundays
What we do
The rhythm of a good day.
Morning movement, a warm meal, a doctor's visit, a conversation in the courtyard. Our work is built around the simple parts of a life well lived.
04 programmes
NAPSRC support
Since 2012, we have implemented the National Action Plan for Senior Citizens, extending government support to more than 25 elders in our care.
Programme 02Food & nutrition
Freshly cooked meals planned for health needs — idli, sambar, rice, rasam, vegetables, buttermilk and soft dishes for elders who need them.
Programme 03Volunteer Service Sundays
Every Sunday, volunteers join our team to spend time, help with activities and make the home a livelier place.
Programme 04Our home
Care that reaches the whole person.
Good care is more than shelter. Our team looks after health, nutrition, movement and mood — from daily yoga and pranayama to festivals, games and the small rituals that give the week its shape. A part-time doctor and nurse support the home, and our staff are present around the clock.
