A Home for Elderly Women
Joan's Old Age Home
KMH provides a loving home for around 20 elderly women, providing accommodation, food and medical care. The women are mainly widows who have no means of support. The home is integrated with the girls' hostel and provides a happy community where the girls and women live in harmony and develop friendships.
KMH were happy to welcome unsupported elderly women to share the hostel community with the girls. They raised enough money to build ‘Joan’s Old Age Home’, a special hall for them to live in comfort. The woman are visited every month by the District Health Department and have regular medical check ups. It is a common tradition in Tamil Nadu to serve meals on banana leaves on special occasions and festivals.
The women relax in the surrounding grounds. Some enjoy gardening.
