Sevarat Foundation
Sevarat Foundation is a registered trust. The trust was created as an outcome of the charity work undertaken by Sevarat Healthcare and Nursing Pvt Ltd which is a dedicated senior care service. Given that the cause of Senior healthcare and wellbeing is a very big cause and very little is being done by individuals, families, society, enterprises and government, there remains a lot to be done. So, Sevarat Healthcare and Nursing Pvt Ltd which is a for-profit organization, started a concerted campaign to address various issues faced by the older persons.
During the month of May 2022, we initiated a statewide project called Wah! Zindagi. This project’s sole objective was to create opportunities for older persons, who were confined to their homes since the onslaught of Covid 19. 10 different locations were identified, and elders were invited to participate in a day long activities, games, and entertainment. The experience left the seniors feeling that someone truly cares for them.
They felt free, independent, and confident. They had childlike joy in just one day of engagement. After the success of Wah! Zindagi , we embarked on our next ambitious project to create a World Record with older persons.
Time Of Your Life was a project wherein we activated older persons cells across the state and prepared them to perform a Goan Folk Dance. On the occasion of World older persons Day – 21stAug 2022 we created a WORLD RECORD – for the largest gathering of older persons performing a Goan Folk Dance.
These activities were undoubtedly remarkable and left us with a great sense of fulfillment, but given our limited resources, we were unable to sustain these financially. Several organizations and individuals agreed to lend a helping hand. However, the fact that we were functioning as an enterprise and not an NGO with any tax benefits became an impediment.
