We are a Voluntary Organization , by name “Valmiki seva sangham” working in and around Chinnaganjam, a Mandal in Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh.We have been working here, in the same place and at the same address since 1981, suggesting we are 45 years old and fairly well known all over this area.
As Chinnaganjam is a labor intensive area with most of the women working in the salt pans and the agricultural fields we identified many women and old people deserted by their families and are forced to beg for survival. We identify such people and provide them with shelter and food. All the services provided by us are free and no money is collected for any service.There is no discrimination of caste or religion in our home and all are treated as equal., We never cut costs and all get the same quality of food that we eat.
At present we have 25 inmates both men and women all above 60 years. There is a qualified MBBS Doctor who reviews the medical condition of the inmates. We do not have much money to buy medicines and the regular medical equipment needed for which we will be seeking Donors generous donations through our blog and “urgent requirement”sections of this website,
As our building is very old, it requires major repairs , Electrical wiring and new electrical equipment installation and painting the building for which also we require funds. We have mentioned this in detail in our urgent requirement section in this website.To sum up, we are in a very bad shape financially and need a helping hand for survival. The building is encroached by a local strong man and we are helpless and this man died, survived by his widow who is demanding Rs.Ten lakhs to vacate the encroachment. We bought this house from my wifes brother who collected all the money/sale price but died before registration and now his widow is asking 50 % of the market price which may become a high price but we cannot escape it and we have been negotiating with her with no end in sight. but there is nothing we can do but wait for things to get better.
