Old Age Home — Dignity in the Golden Years

A New Initiative by Rural Women Society, Tuensang, Nagaland
Rural Women Society is proud to announce the successful launch of one of its most compassionate and long-awaited initiatives — an Old Age Home established under a government-supported project. This home stands as a sanctuary of care, dignity, and companionship for the elderly who have no one to care for them or are facing neglect in their twilight years.

Get to Know Us

🌿 Why an Old Age Home?

In many rural and tribal communities of Nagaland, older persons—especially widows, childless individuals, or those abandoned by families—suffer in silence. With little or no access to healthcare, financial support, or emotional security, their lives often become isolated and vulnerable.

Understanding this growing concern, Rural Women Society took the initiative to open a dedicated Old Age Home to provide shelter, care, and dignity to our forgotten elders.

This project is not just about shelter—it is about restoring dignity to the lives of elders. The home is run by compassionate caregivers, social workers, and volunteers who treat every resident like family.
