Social protection aims at mitigating risks associated with vulnerable older persons due to rising poverty. Through social protection, multigenerational households stand to benefit e.g. OVC’s under the care of older persons are able to attend school , get improved nutrition, access health care and are able to redistribute the wealth.
To mitigate this we:-
· Advocates for a National Social Protection and National Policy on the older persons and ageing.
· Works very closely with the Ministry of Gender, Children and social Development (MGCSD).
· Ensures that older persons lead active secure and dignified lives in line with our vision.
