Challenge

In Goma, the elderly face significant challenges. Many are abandoned by their families and left to struggle with basic survival needs. They suffer from physical and emotional neglect, with some even facing accusations of witchcraft due to their age and vulnerabilities. As a result, they are marginalized and unable to access the medical, nutritional, and emotional support they desperately need. Without assistance, many elderly people in this community face a lonely and uncertain future.

Solution

Our project offers direct financial aid to 70 elderly individuals in Goma, ensuring they can meet their basic needs, including medicine and nutrition. By providing consistent support, we aim to alleviate the loneliness, isolation, and physical hardships these elderly people face. We also offer a safe space where they can receive emotional support and reconnect with their community. With your donation, we can ensure these elders are not forgotten.

Long-Term Impact

By supporting the elderly, this project will have lasting effects on the community. Not only will it provide immediate relief, but it will also raise awareness about the rights and dignity of the elderly. Over time, this initiative will help shift societal views, encouraging greater care and respect for older generations. With continued support, we hope to create a more inclusive society in Goma, where the elderly are valued and cared for.
