Across the globe we work directly with older people, providing practical items like food and mobility aids, as well as creating clubs and offering both physical and mental medical support.
But this is not enough. You don't stop being a person as you grow older. Yet people who are ageing find themselves forgotten, ignored and invisible - by governments and organisations alike. It is time for change. It is time to take all ages into account.
We work with governments, public authorities, and international actors in places like Moldova and Vietnam to bring about systemic change. Change that puts the voices of older people front and centre and protects their rights. This helps to ensure that the healthcare needs of older people are included in healthcare policies and services.
Learn about our creation of Moldova’s National Council of the Older People. The Council to improve policy dialogue between civil society and public authorities at central, regional and local level to help improve protection of the rights of older people in the Republic of Moldova.
