Older person are at an increased risk in
times of emergencies. Many loose their
livelihoods, homes and suffer from
deficiency of medicare, food, WASH and
other basic needs. Some of the emergencies
that afflict older persons include drought,
floods, epidemics, conflict and demolitions
that
have become very common especially in
the informal settlements. During such
epidemics, the foundation has responded by
constructing shelter, providing food,
organizing for medical camps, and
supplying both food and non-food items.
