WHAT WE DO

1. Accessible Worship Initiative

In a country where temples serve not only as places of worship but as cultural and spiritual sanctuaries, mobility should never be a barrier to devotion. As part of our “caring for a senior” initiative, FrontEnders Foundation, in association with Athulya Senior Care, we proudly donated wheelchairs and senior-friendly chairs to the Temples such as Arulmigu Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Temple and Vadapalani Murugan Temple in Chennai, as well as Arulmigu Meenakshi Sundaraswarar Temple in Madurai.

These accessibility aids are now available to support elderly devotees during their temple visits, ensuring they can participate in rituals and prayers without physical strain. Our trained caretakers will be present once a week, lending a helping hand to support seniors, making their visit comfortable and memorable. We believe that every senior deserves comfort, dignity, and the joy of fulfilling their spiritual aspirations.

2. Emergency Care Support – Ambulance Donation

FrontEnders Foundation, in association with Athulya Senior Care, has partnered with the Greater Chennai Police's "Kaaval Karangal" initiative to enhance elderly welfare. This partnership aims to provide integrated services to abandoned and uncared elderly individuals, ensuring they receive the care and support they need. A fully equipped ambulance has been provided to support rescue operations, offering immediate medical attention and transportation to suitable care facilities.

The ambulance is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, ensuring optimal care during transit. By working together, we aim to create a safer and more compassionate environment for the elderly, promoting their well-being and dignity. This partnership is a significant step towards achieving this vision.

3. Weekend Meal Support Program

Every Saturday, FrontEnders Foundation, in association with Athulya Senior Care, embarks on a heartwarming initiative to deliver 50 freshly prepared meal boxes to those in need. In collaboration with Kaval Karangal, these meals are carefully distributed to shelter homes across the city, bringing not only sustenance but also a sense of comfort and care. Each meal box is packed with love, representing a gesture of kindness that transcends mere nourishment – it's a reminder that someone truly cares. This initiative embodies the spirit of "food with dignity," aiming to uplift and inspire hope in the lives of those who receive these meal.

4. Awareness about “Caring for a Senior”

FrontEnders Foundation, in association with Athulya Senior Care, hosted a poignant art competition at Velammal School, themed "Caring for a Senior." This initiative brought together over 250 young artists, who poured their hearts into beautiful artwork that showcased their empathy and respect for senior citizens. Through vibrant colors and creative expressions, these young minds highlighted the importance of inter-generational connections and the invaluable contributions of seniors to our society.

The "Caring For A Senior" initiative seeks to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the elderly, promoting a culture of care, compassion, and respect. By celebrating the spirit of empathy and the timeless bond between generations, we aim to build a society that honors and values its seniors. This art competition served as a powerful platform, allowing young artists to convey their thoughts and feelings through a conversation in colors that beautifully bridged the gap between youth and wisdom.

5. Maitri (Fund Raising Concert)

In 2020, our 1st Annual Fundraiser event, Maitri, marked a significant milestone in our journey to care for destitute seniors. The event successfully raised crucial funds that enabled us to provide essential services, including health camps, medical aid, and equipment, to thousands of elderly individuals in need. Through Maitri, we have been able to sponsor life-changing surgeries, provide necessary medicines, and cater to the physiological and other needs of seniors. Our commitment to transforming lives remains unwavering, and we continue to strive towards making a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors, bringing them hope, dignity, and care. Today, we remain dedicated to our mission, working tirelessly to support those who need it most.
