There are over 33 million widows in India. In large parts of the country only about one-third of the widows get to share the hearth of their kith and kin. The widows get abandoned usually at religious places. Vrindavan is one of the places where widows congregate. Starving and living in utter neglect and despair, the widows need all the help and care that they can get. Under a program named ‘Dhoop Chandan’, the Foundation has adopted 100 widows living at the Vedic Sanatan Dharm Vriddha Mahila Kalyan Sansthan, Vrindavan. The Foundation ensures basic sustenance for the widows by providing food and basic necessities month after month.  

Additionally the ICT intervention has ensured providing a photo ID card to every widow to help give them a sense of identity and self-esteem. The Foundation has been lobbying with the local district administration to recognize the ID Card as an official proof of identity for the widows for delivering basic services and pensions.
