Pensioners have always worked hard under communism, but under the current capitalist system they receive such a low benefit that they often can not even pay for their food. Many elderly people are afraid of becoming ill because they simply do not have money for medicines. In the cold winters they have insufficient money to buy wood for the stove and are often in miserable conditions.
RCHF helps these elderly people with wood in the winter and supports where possible with nutrition, social applications and clothing. She also provides health education, diseases can often be prevented by simple measures.
