What we do

HelpAge helps older people claim their rights, challenge discrimination and overcome poverty, so that they can lead dignified, secure, active and healthy lives.

We do this by advocating for policy change and through implementating practical projects on the ground.  We address the following issues that affect older people worldwide:
