Pensions for elderly in Ethiopia

Ethiopian Elder

During the last year your donations have paid for pensions, clothing allowances and repairs to the homes of the most desperate elders in Ethiopia. Donations have also contributed to the running of day centres in the heart of the communities where the elderly can go to socialise, have refreshments, receive medical care and earn a small income by making clothes and traditional goods to sell. Those people unable to get to the centre have been provided with home care where they receive food and assistance with all aspects of personal hygiene, helping to make life easier.
