FEEDING THE ELDERLY
We feed the elderly.
We feed the elderly.
Ethel Foundation has expanded its poultry unit and installed solar power as part of a strategic effort to strengthen income-generating systems for older persons. These investments increase production capacity, reduce operational costs, and move us closer to a financially sustainable model of dignified ageing.
At Ethel Foundation, we believe that the most meaningful insights come directly from the people we serve. Through our regular field visits to older persons participating in our programs, we create opportunities to listen, learn, and grow together. These conversations help us understand what is working, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that participants feel respected, heard, and valued. Beyond measuring impact, we continually ask an important question: how can the progress achieved today be sustained tomorrow? By placing the voices of older persons at the center of our work, we strengthen our commitment to dignity, partnership, and sustainable community empowerment.
Caring for Vulnerable Elderly: A Guide to Compassionate Support Caring for vulnerable elderly individuals is a profound responsibility that requires a unique blend of empathy and practicality. These seniors often face physical or cognitive challenges that make them more susceptible to various health and social issues. It is essential to approach their care with sensitivity…
This is the heart of our work — building a society where older persons are seen, respected, and embraced.
Technical skills for the elderly
Service charters are meant to guide citizens on what services are offered and what standards to expect. For many older persons, however, these charters remain inaccessible — written in unfamiliar language, displayed in unreadable formats, and disconnected from the realities of ageing. When information cannot be understood, seen, or accessed, dignity is compromised. Making service charters work for older persons is not about compliance; it is about designing systems that respect, include, and prioritize senior citizens.
