There a lot of abandoned elders in our community ,some have lost families or didn't have children ,others have been affected by tribal wars and they really can't work to satisfy their needs.
Our Elderly care project is majorly to support all elders through family based care and medical treatment.
We currently support 4 elders..
we would like to have fan with our elders learn more from each other and strengthen our relationship with them,
usually we visit them and cook some food,help them in general hygiene ,its really interesting when it comes to story telling and sharing a variety of fruits with them.
our goal is to build an elderly care center.
The older you get,the more you tell it like it used to be.
