Help Age Canada

We offer 4 great ways to make a huge difference for an older person who needs food, shelter, medicines and other essentials.

$27 dollars a month. That’s all it takes.

Our partners in Haiti, Kenya, Jamaica, Grenada, Kenya, India, Sri Lanka and Dominica and the Philippines are almost all religious organizations with a long-standing commitment to helping others. They will provide food, shelter and medicines to the most vulnerable older persons.

This is perhaps the worst possible situation for older persons. Unable to run away, they often stay behind, and in addition they are neglected by aid agencies. Bring help to victims of conflicts by supporting our work in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our partners help women like Julie, now 76, who was brutally assaulted by four young militia. She received sustained care and material support and now leads a normal life.

and support not just grandparents, but also their grandchildren and the entire community. Grandparents form a group of five to collectively carry on a business of selling maize, rice, small animals, even cows. With the benefits they support not just themselves, but other persons who are too frail to work, and grandchildren who then have the chance to go to school. Real transformation for just $700.

Here is an example: Ms P. is an 82- year-old woman with severe arthritis in her legs and feet causing her toes to overlap. This puts her at great risk for falling. We provided funding for the purchase of special shoes and orthotics which have helped her comfort level and walking ability. The program requires referrals from social workers or health professionals, and is used when all other potential sources of funding have been considered.
