Our Impact

Achievement-I

First part of the fact:

This is one instance of a gentleman who is senior citizen. The couple had lost their son who was suffering from terminal disease.  The daughter-in-law who was selfish realising the benefits left the senior citizen for ever completely loosing relationship. The senior citizen who had a daughter was also ill-fated, the daughter got first divorce, then again married another person who turned out be worse than the first one, and the daughter committed suicide leaving behind a three year old daughter. The senior citizen left with daughter as his son-in-law unclaimed / rejected his own daughter. The senior citizen couple adopted the three year old granddaughter and took care of her who is studying now 2nd year engineering. The senior citizen lost his wife too. The gentleman is struggling very hard to bring his granddaughter and without any support either from friends or relatives leading a solitary life without any social support. After long self-debate the gentleman thought himself to have a companion to have social, physical and moral support, decided to give life to a widow by marriage and approached Parihaar Foundation.

Second part of the fact:

A girl from North Karnataka lost her husband within one and half year due to heart disease. She could not remarry due to family and society restrictions as well she had to take care of their parents. The brothers of widow in spite of trying to get another match could not get the right one, as the widow was not well educated and because of the financial constraint. The widow is now almost 52 years, struggling her life without social, moral and financial security. The widow approached Parihaar Foundation for support. Parihaar match made the senior citizen mentioned in the first part of fact to the above widow. Though the caste came in between, both the parties were convinced and the marriage is fixed.

Achievement-II

A 67 years old wealthy Senior citizen had lost his wife due to cancer and managing all alone since six years, two of his daughters settled in USA. Daughters initiated the marriage, Parihaar Foundation could find a matching a poor widow who had none to support her. Though at first the lady was reluctant to marry Parihaar counsellor could convince her about the advantage and finally a simple marriage was arranged. Parihaar foundation offers after marriage services too so as to check the marriage success rate.

Thus without any age factor the marriage is organised. More and more lonely senior citizens whose kith and kin settled in overseas are coming forward to find widow-widower matches for marriage.
