Challenge

Ethiopia's rapid urban growth has increased poverty, especially among older adults. Many elders live alone without income, pensions, or family support. Rising food and healthcare costs leave them vulnerable to malnutrition, untreated illness, and homelessness. Conflict and food insecurity have worsened their situation. This project supports the most vulnerable elders with the monthly financial assistance, healthcare access, and essential items to restore health and dignity.

Solution

The project addresses the critical needs of elderly individuals in Ethiopia, who are struggling with poverty, malnutrition, and inadequate living conditions. The project provides monthly cash allowances of around $20 to 100 beneficiaries, giving them essential financial support for food, medication, and basic necessities; provide essential items such as wheelchairs and crutches to enhancing mobility, regular health checkups, counseling sessions, shelter, and create awareness.

Long-Term Impact

This project aims to create long-term improvements for elderly individuals in Ethiopia by providing monthly cash allowances, essential mobility aids, regular health checkups, and temporary shelter. These efforts reduce dependency, enhance physical independence, and support both physical and mental health, contributing to a better quality of life. The awareness campaign fosters community empathy and support.
