Growing older should never mean becoming invisible. Across our communities, older persons continue to nurture families, preserve culture, and strengthen society, yet many face poverty, poor health, isolation, and neglect. At Ethel Foundation for the Aged, we believe ageing should be marked by dignity, purpose, and opportunity. Discover why investing in older persons is not just an act of compassion—it’s essential to building stronger, more inclusive communities for generations to come.
Ethel Foundation for the Aged recently conducted a needs assessment and fact-finding exercise in Baringo County to better understand the challenges facing older persons in the region.

The insights gathered are now informing Ethel Foundation’s ongoing deliberations on how it can work alongside communities and partners to strengthen support systems, promote dignity, and improve the quality of life for older persons in Baringo and across Kenya.
