SUPPORT 350 OLD PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA IN IMO STATE

This quarter, your support brought compassion, dignity, and essential care to elderly persons living with dementia across Imo State. Despite worsening economic hardship, rising medical needs, and increasing neglect of the elderly, your generosity has continued to provide comfort, stability, and hope to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

What We Achieved This Quarter

Reached elderly dementia patients with nutritional support, including soft cereals, fruits, and easy-to-digest meals.
Provided essential care items such as adult diapers, bathing soap, disinfectants, and mild skincare products for sensitive aging skin.
Offered emotional and psychosocial support, including home visits, companionship activities, and caregiver engagement.
Identified more vulnerable seniors in rural areas who need urgent intervention.

Your support continues to help us restore dignity and improve the daily living conditions of dementia patients who have no one else to rely on.

Financial Update

This quarter, we received:
$18 from GlobalGiving donors
$95 from the Social Enterprise of the Sam Onyemaechi Humanitarian Foundation

Total: $113

How the Funds Were Used:
Purchase of soft, nutrient-rich food items (custard, pap, fruits, milk): $52
Adult diapers, sanitary wipes, and personal hygiene items: $38
Transportation for home visits and caregiver support: $18
Balance: $5 (to be used in the next care round)

Your contributions, no matter the amount, make a real difference in the lives of our elderly beneficiaries.

Why This Project Is Important

Dementia continues to leave many elderly people isolated, confused, and unable to meet their basic needs. In many rural communities in Imo State, older persons suffering from memory loss and cognitive impairment are left without structured care.
This project ensures they receive:
Warm meals
Hygiene support
Compassionate companionship
A sense of dignity and belonging

Looking Ahead / December Plans

With your continued support, we plan to:
Deliver Christmas Care Packs to elderly dementia patients (nutritious food, hygiene items, soft clothing).
Expand our home-visit care program to reach more rural communities.
Provide basic medical checkups for high-risk seniors.
Support caregivers with training on dementia-friendly care practices.

Your support brings comfort, dignity, and light into their lives.

Thank You
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all GlobalGiving donors and our internal supporters. Your compassion keeps hope alive for elderly persons who are often forgotten and left behind.

Together, we are giving them a reason to smile again.
Thank you for standing with us.
