Community Care for the Elderly

In poverty-stricken areas, the oldest and the youngest members of society are often forgotten.  This organization seeks to improve the quality of life for older people by addressing their physical, psychological, social, educational, and economic needs.   By focusing on community-based care programs, we can keep the older generation in the environments where they are most comfortable.

Offer support by:

  • Assisting in fundraising work
  • Advocacy and outreach work
  • Community and healthcare visits to the community
  • Creating business and marketing plans

Some people you’ll meet are able to look after themselves, while others need assistance.  Compassion, a sense of humor, and an understanding of this population will go a long way in this program.  You won’t soon forget the intense significance of offering neglected seniors service and dignity.  The minimum time commitment for this project is 2 months.
