The Backbone of every society is the Aged

In every thriving community, there is an often-overlooked group that quietly holds it all together- The Elderly. At KAFA Foundation, we strongly believe that "The backbone of every society is the aged" and it is time we treat them as such.

Behind every school that was built, every family member that we raised, and every culture that was preserved, stands the steady strength of our elders. their hands have toiled, their minds have guided, their hearts have nurtured generations. Yet, many of these very people are spending their final years in neglect, poverty and silence.

why we must Shift Our Lens

In Ghana, particularly in urban centers like Accra, rapid modernization is changing the way we see and treat aging. Too often, youth and productivity are valued over wisdom and experience. This shift leaves our elder population vulnerable-not only physically but emotionally and socially.

But think about it, what is a society without its roots? Our elders are not a burden; they are a blessing. They are the living libraries of our traditions, the storytellers of our history, and the anchors of our families.

At KAFA, we don't just see elders, we see strength, dignity, and legacy. through our work in aged care across Accra.

How KAFA is rebuilding This Backbone

• Support mobility and independence through assistive device drives

• Offer nourishment and companionship through food programs

• Organize storytelling and memory-sharing events that affirm identity and history.
