Care for Older People

Food, clothing, dignity and connection for older women and respected community leaders.

Food supplies prepared for an annual support activity for queen mothers

What this work means

Older people carry knowledge, history and responsibility within their communities. Our work recognizes their contribution and responds with practical care, respectful engagement and social connection.

Areas of action

01

Food and essentials

Practical support helps older people meet important day-to-day needs.

02

Clothing support

Clothing forms part of the Foundation's documented annual support for queen mothers.

03

Community connection

Gatherings and direct engagement help older people remain connected and valued.

04

Dignity in later life

Every activity should reflect respect, agency and the important place older people hold in community life.

Documented activity

These examples come directly from the Foundation’s supplied programme record.

Annual support for queen mothers

The documented activity includes rice, oil, canned food, tomatoes and clothing.

Older women within wider programmes

Older women were among the groups represented in the women's empowerment gathering held in Nungua in 2023.

Every contribution helps turn local priorities into practical action.
