The plight of the elderly in our village, Jinja, Uganda 🇺🇬.
Published at : August 22, 2021
Old age is a treasure filled with the gift of wisdom, hence why many also refer to it as the golden years, but as one enters this stage in life they are no longer as active as they were during their youthful stage. When young, ripe and filled with potential they were able to contribute to national development (the work force and of course the payment of tax).
With their decrease in activity and the chance to participate in the work force diminished, many elderly people in Uganda 🇺🇬 have remained sick, hungry and live in poverty.
This is a situation of hoplessness, so never forget the hands that raised you, the eyes that watched you and the mind that cared for you 🙏🏾.
Never neglect the elderly, so let us put our hands together and help. 🙏🏾.
