The Help the Elderly Uganda brings essential food assistance and medical care to abandoned and neglected elderly persons. When we started, most of the elderly were malnourished, anemic, suffered from undiagnosed diabetes, or were simply starving due to abandonment or neglect. This was an emergency care situation in which the survival of dozens of people was at stake.

Since then, we have moved onto a new, more therapeutic and durable approach: comprehensive elderly care. We continue to feed over 100 elderly every day in Uganda, and have weekly workshops and therapeutic activities to nourish and care for the minds and bodies of every elderly person.

How to help

Sponsor an elderly person in need for $35/month. This will provide them with a hot, nutritious meal daily, Monday through Friday.

Donate to our General Elderly Care Fund. These funds ensure that we always have an adequate supply of food, medicine, blankets, adult diapers and funds to support as many elderly people as possible.
