| NGO Profile : |
Dignity Foundation (DF) was set up to help senior citizens deal with their insecurities and loneliness and bring joy to their lives. With 100 million senior citizens in India (324 million by 2050) of which 65% are dependent on others for their day-to-day maintenance, DF has their work cut out. Their Head Office is in Mumbai with chapters in Pune, Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru.
Some of their programmes are as follows:
• Helpline Programme: Dignity Foundation has been running this Helpline since 1995 to empower elders to reach out for assistance against abuse. The programme handles around 950-1,000 calls per month on average.

The aim of the centres (Mumbai & Chennai) is to provide a stimulating and conducive environment where the members can maintain practical and social skills and enhance their self-reliance.
