Addaghar: Guwahati Sanctuary for Elderly to Forge Friendships

In the bustling city of Guwahati, a special place called Addaghar was created to help elderly people make friends and have fun.

The city is changing with new buildings, and some older people feel lonely because they don't have places to meet and chat.

Addaghar is like a cozy home where they can share stories, play games, and enjoy each other's company.

It was started in 2019 by Meenaxi Barkotoki, who wanted to keep the spirit of her family home alive.

Addaghar offers a place for seniors to connect and rediscover the joy of companionship, especially after the challenges of the pandemic.

It’s a place of laughter, stories, and a reminder that community matters.
