We strive to improve older people’s lives across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East by helping them overcome poverty, giving them access to health and care and advocating governments for better pensions. We make sure older people’s needs are met in emergencies.
We focus on social protection, human rights and health, as well as promoting the voice and agency of older people in both humanitarian and development settings.
