Vruksha Old Age Home (VOAH)
Older people are especially vulnerable during and after humanitarian crises, due to their physical frailty and lack of mobility. During aid distribution, they often get neglected. VRUKSHA focuses on rehabilitating elders in the wake of disasters. VRUKSHA is currently running large projects in Andhra Pradesh, and Tsunami affected coastal India.

For many older people who have nowhere to go and no one to support them, old age homes serve as a safe haven. VRUKSHA believes that old age homes are not the solution to the problem and the best care for an older person is within his or her own family, but unfortunately that is not the reality of the present day scenario. There are over 1000 old age homes in India of which 12 have been supported by VRUKSHA. These homes give them a sense of security and friendship as share their grievances with others like them staying at the home, making them an unusual family of older people.

Supported by Vruksha India, VOAH (Vruksha Old Age Homes) is a unique home for the disabled elderly and dying destitutes. Nursing care is the most important part of the services offered, in addition to shelter, food and clothing. Vruksha India assisted the home in boring a tube-well, to be utilized for developing a vegetable garden and starting other agricultural activities. This helps to create a sustainable source of income for the home and improve the nutritional status of the residents. The organization has already donated a vehicle to the home for collecting dying old people from the streets.

Vruksha Children’s Home (VCH)
The Vruksha Children's Home cares for a particularly vulnerable group of girls and boys in the Indian community. The Home has housed about 30, mainly rural Children who have been orphaned or abandoned by destitute parents.

Here they are given the essentials of food, clothing and shelter - all in a safe, loving and caring environment. The children, aged from 2 up to 12, are given a permanent home and a whole new direction for the rest of their lives. But more importantly, they have access to health care and education, which are crucial in giving them life prospects they would otherwise be denied.
