Challenge

Taiwan's rapidly aging population, with one in four citizens projected to be over 65 by 2025, presents multifaceted challenges. Many retirees struggle with transitioning from structured work to less defined retirement, leading to isolation, loss of purpose, and financial insecurity. This shift to a "hyper-aged" society requires innovative solutions to keep seniors active, engaged, and healthy, preventing physical and mental decline associated with aging.

Solution

The "50+ Empowerment" project tackles these challenges through a comprehensive suite of programs: (1)Skill Development Workshops: From traditional crafts to modern technology, enabling new skills and income; (2)Financial Literacy Sessions: Guidance on managing retirement funds; (3)Leadership Training: Empowering seniors as community leaders and mentors; (4)Social Engagement Initiatives: Building relationships through activities and volunteering.

Long-Term Impact

"50+ Empowerment" aims to positively impact over 500 seniors in Taiwan. The long-term vision includes: (1)Enhanced Quality of Life: Seniors will enjoy better health, financial security, and a strong sense of purpose; (2)Redefining Retirement: Showing that retirement can be a time for growth, learning, and contribution; (3)Stronger Communities: Increased social participation and volunteerism for communities; (4)Sustainable Models: Creating replicable programs for broader impact and support.
