Suwani

Lack of adequate attention towards senior citizens is a grave concern in our society today. Faced with challenging economic situations, competitive working cultures as well as the never ending race to ensure the survival of the fittest, family responsibilities and values are diminishing at an alarming rate. As a result, elders who struggle to make a contribution towards the economy are considered a burden by many of their children and relatives who ignore the responsibility of caring for them at this late stage of their lives. Then we, Rotaract Club of Badulla initiated this Suwani project to give our contribution to fulfill the needs of the elder community in Uva province and to improve the basic infrastructure facilities in the elder's home and provide necessary medicines to them. Medicines and necessary equipment for the kitchen were donated to Kailagoda Elder’s Home on 17^th of July 2019, in order to improve the situation of the elder’s home and didn’t forget to spend time with the elders for their good mental health.

This was focused on Disease prevention and treatment, under Rotary 6^th area of focus.
