Sri Lanka's constitution, as a Socialist state, is known for its emotional and physical support for its extended members. However, it often fails to respond to the needs of older people aged 60 years and above in difficult circumstances, particularly in metropolitan cities. This is due to various reasons, including economic instability, the breakdown of the joint family system, social bias against vulnerable older people, and the attitude and value attached to them.

Vulnerable older people have been abused by their natural children, in-laws within their own parents, and even tortured physically and mentally. Many young generations wish for their early death, as living under the same shelter gives an economy burden. Society sometimes drives these elderly individuals out of the system, leading them to live subhuman existence or become servants or slaves for their own survival.

Aging is a natural process, but it is difficult to accept and face the realities of fading mental and physical energies. With sickness and disabilities, it is essential to provide care and support both physically and emotionally for these individuals. A residential program for the aged is proposed to help provide this care.

So far, intervention to this vulnerable section group has only covered a fringe of the problems, and limited intervention has been made by few organizations. As responsible citizens, the project aims to intervene immediately through a flexible and innovative approach for the aged people in distress in diverse situations under different conditions. 

From 2020 to 2022, Sri Lanka experienced a severe economic crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to significant social problems and job losses. Inflation rates reached 80%-90%, causing widespread unemployment and a lack of basic needs fulfillment. Despite some economic progress through policies, the need for international aid and support is increasing.

A population and housing census conducted in 2011 revealed that there are 5,000,000 families in Sri Lanka, with some living in legally titleable houses and others in government accommodations. Many cannot claim a house due to their poor economic situation, preventing them from claiming their own. 

To address this issue, an organization has planned a project to provide solutions to another economic and social problem identified in Sri Lanka. The population and housing census revealed that some families live in legally titleable houses, while others live in government accommodations without legal title. This highlights the need for international aid and support in addressing the economic and social challenges faced by Sri Lanka.
