On the 1st of October 2024, the Children of Deccan Foundation organized a special event to commemorate the International Day of Older Persons. Malkanna, the Foundation’s Chairman, spearheaded the program to recognize and provide assistance to the elderly population. In furtherance of this initiative, Councilor Vijender Reddy distributed essential ration supplies to the residents of Shantinagar Leprosy Colony and Santosh Nagar Colony, highlighting the Foundation’s dedication to assisting underprivileged communities, particularly those who have been marginalized due to age, health, or social circumstances. Apart from Malkanna and Councilor Reddy, the event witnessed the participation of other prominent figures. Mr. Ramesh, the State Coordinator of APAL, and Samuel, the leader of the Colony, lent their support to the cause. At the same time, Pooja played a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless execution of the program. Collectively, they emphasized the significance of providing care and resources to the elderly and vulnerable populations, advocating for the dignity and rights of older persons and individuals affected by leprosy, especially those contending with illnesses and residing in challenging conditions.
