Better Life Foundation

About us

Why Us...?

Have you ever thought how it is to be old and helpless? Have you ever tried to step into the shoes of an unloved person?, If such thoughts had bothered many, wouldn’t the world have been a better place?, Wouldn’t it have made a big difference in the lives of many?

YES!!!!

It was such thoughts that led to the formation of BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION back on 23rd May 2015. Through this report we will be traversing through the history and activities of better life foundation for the last five years and our future ventures.

First of all let us go through some statistics:

In 1961, Kerala's 60 plus population was 5.1%, which was just (below the national level of 5.6%).
In 1980, Kerala has overtaken the rest of India.
In 2001 the proportion of the old age population rose to 10.5% as against the all India average of 7.5%.
In 2011, 12.6% of Kerala's population was in the past 60 years. compared to the all India average of 8.6% By 2015, population data show that it increased to 13.1% in Kerala against the all India average of 8.3% (SRS Statistical Report 2015). Currently, 48 lakh people (Projected figures of the population in 2018) of Kerala are 60 years and above; 15% of them are past 80 years, the fastest-growing group among the old.

The rapid increase in the number of residents in Kerala's old-age homes in recent times tells a sordid tale of neglect by families in their twilight years. Over the last five years, the number of inmates in old-age homes across Kerala has risen from about 15,000 to 23,823. That includes 9,596 women and 14,227 men.

Most of them are blessed with children, but are forced to live without the warmth and joy of family life.

Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects. This is what we are hoping for with BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION. Back when we started we were not assured about the outcome, but there was something that drove us forward. Now we can proudly say that our efforts have not gone vain. We are hoping that our venture in future too would help in transforming the lives of underprivileged people.
