The "Breakfast for the Elderly" Project
We have encountered a great deal of suffering among people, including the elderly.
They seem to have learned to be happy even in small things. But they no longer have the strength or desire to fight for their rights. They are often abandoned by their children, who are struggling to survive on their own. They are not entitled to a pension.

The New Life Church began providing assistance to the elderly, and now the situation is changing, and we are reaping the fruits of those years when child prostitution, hunger, and deaths from common diseases reigned.
We often meet single grandmothers caring for 5-7 or more grandchildren. These grandmothers suffer from joint pain due to a difficult life and poor nutrition, and they suffer from high blood pressure. The children of the elderly are also often poor and survive on their own, thus providing no assistance to their elderly parents. On the contrary, the elderly help – they raise their grandchildren, carry water in barrels on their heads, and gather brushwood and firewood throughout the day. While lighting a fire for dinner, they suffer severe burns, and after washing in the lake, they develop festering wounds on their legs.
We saw the problem of poor educational background from them; many of them has not completed more than sixth grade. We also saw the problem of poor eyesight among the elderly. Lack of education and poor eyesight lead to a spiritual problem – the elderly simply can't read the BIBLE! Read the Bible, talk about eternity, and prepare for eternity!
We invite you to join us prayerfully and financially to help the elderly!
