Golden Care Program (GCP): Dignity, Health & Hope for Older Persons
“Golden” reflects the wisdom and honor of old age. “Care” emphasizes compassion, dignity, and health support. Together, they represent our commitment to restore love and respect for Kenya’s elderly population.
Why Golden Care?
Across the world, the elderly population is rising rapidly—by 2050, more than 2.1 billion people will be over 60. In Kenya, over 2.7 million older persons face daily struggles with health, neglect, and poverty. Prostate cancer alone accounts for 15% of male cancers, with late detection leading to preventable deaths. Yet beyond the statistics are parents, grandparents, and caregivers who deserve dignity in their golden years.
