The Challenge
Ensuring dignity and care for Bangladesh's elderly
As Bangladesh's population ages, many elderly citizens face isolation, lack of healthcare access, and financial insecurity. Traditional family support structures are changing, leaving many elders vulnerable.
Limited healthcare access for elderly
Social isolation and loneliness
Financial insecurity in old age
Lack of specialized elder care facilities
Changing family support structures
By the Numbers
"The young volunteers from Next11 visit me every week. They help with shopping, talk with me, and make me feel valued. I'm no longer alone."
Our Approach
Comprehensive elder care through community and youth engagement
Our Youth for Elders program connects young volunteers with elderly community members, providing companionship, practical assistance, and access to healthcare. We also support elder care facilities and family caregivers.
