Why Our Elders Are at Risk
Limited Medical Access
Many elderly people cannot reach hospitals or afford consistent treatment, leaving chronic illnesses and HIV care unmanaged.
Food Insecurity
Hunger is a daily reality. Without regular meals and proper nutrition, medication becomes ineffective and health declines rapidly.
Abuse & Neglect
Elders face violence, land grabbing, and abandonment, often suffering in silence without legal or social protection.
