Kolkata, 30 October 2026: Aahwahan Foundation, with the support of Tredence CSR, is pleased to announce the launch of its ‘Meethi Muskan’ initiative, inaugurated at Ashray Beleghata, Shelter for Urban Homeless under Day-Nulm , 5B Latafat Hussain Lane Kolkata - 700085. The initiative aims to support senior citizens living in old age homes by improving their living conditions and providing essential assistance in areas such as food, healthcare, clothing, hygiene and overall well-being. At Ashray Old Age Home in Kolkata, a total of 156 senior citizens benefited from the ‘Meethi Muskan’ initiative. Through this initiative, Aahwahan Foundation seeks to bring greater care, dignity, happiness and hope to elderly people who require continued support. The initiative is designed to provide consistent assistance while contributing to the overall physical, emotional and social well-being of senior citizens.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Braja Kishore Pradhan, CEO & Founder, Aahwahan Foundation, said, “For many elderly people, an old age home is not simply a place to live; it becomes the place where they search for the warmth, companionship and sense of belonging they may have lost along the way. Our visit to Ashray Old Age Home in Kolkata reminded us that sometimes, the most meaningful support is not measured in material things, but in a few moments of genuine care, a listening ear and the assurance that someone still cares. Through Meethi Muskan, we want to bring that human connection to senior citizens-to make them feel seen, valued and remembered, and to remind them that their lives, their stories and their smiles still matter.”
With the support of Tredence CSR, Aahwahan Foundation has adopted six old age homes across Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Bengaluru and Gurgaon as part of the ongoing initiative. The program will focus on strengthening these homes and helping ensure that residents have access to essential resources and a more comfortable living environment. As an ongoing initiative, Aahwahan Foundation plans to expand Meethi Muskan to additional cities and old age homes across India. Through this continued expansion, the Foundation aims to reach more senior citizens and provide them with meaningful support tailored to their needs.
Meethi Muskan is part of Aahwahan Foundation’s continued efforts to work for vulnerable and underserved communities across India. The Foundation believes that supporting senior citizens requires more than meeting their basic needs-it also involves creating spaces where they can experience respect, companionship and dignity. The initiative reflects Aahwahan Foundation’s broader commitment to social welfare and community development. By combining essential assistance with care and compassion, the Foundation aims to contribute towards creating happier, healthier and more dignified lives for senior citizens.
