OUR PROGRAMMES
Sustainable Livelihoods
Empowering older persons with the skills, resources, and opportunities they need to achieve economic independence and improve their quality of life.
Empowering Older Persons Through Sustainable Livelihoods
Economic independence is key to restoring dignity and improving the wellbeing of older persons. Many older persons face financial hardship due to limited income opportunities, unemployment, and reduced physical capacity. Support Elderly Foundation works to strengthen their resilience by promoting sustainable livelihood opportunities that help them live more independent and productive lives.
Programme Overview
The Sustainable Livelihoods Programme equips older persons with practical skills, financial literacy, income-generating opportunities, and community-based economic support. Through training, savings groups, small business development, and agricultural initiatives, we help older persons build sustainable sources of income and strengthen household resilience.
Working alongside local communities and development partners, we promote economic empowerment that creates long-term self-reliance rather than short-term dependency.
Why This Programme Matters
Many older persons continue to struggle with poverty, unemployment, and limited access to financial resources. Without sustainable sources of income, they often face food insecurity, poor healthcare access, and social exclusion.
This programme helps older persons regain confidence, improve financial stability, and actively participate in community life by creating opportunities for economic empowerment and self-sufficiency.
