Elderly Care Projects for FY 2022
Milk & Breakfast
There is a need for 1000 liters of milk.
Research indicates that the elders do not have
milk for their cereal, tea, etc.
Milk is critical for calcium absorption.
Valentines - Love for the Elders
In honor of month of love for the elders,
we will distribute care packs.
We plan to distribute at least 500 packages,
and ultimately 1,000 packages,
depending on sponsorship.
Vitamin Pack Drive
Due to the lack of nutrition,
we will conduct a vitamin drive,
targeting at least 1000 elders.
Breakfast Drive
Breakfast is a key part of elderly nutrition and the benefits of this first meal of the day are vast. From energy and concentration to reducing risk of diseases. Eating a healthy breakfast is a verified way to support overall health.
Our Requirements
Breakfast Pack (Milk, sugar, jam, mealie meal, cereal)
Winter Warmers
Aging skin is thinner and less likely to tolerate fluctuating temperatures. Age reduces the elasticity of blood vessel walls and thins the fat layer under the skin that helps preserve body heat. Older adults lose body heat faster and are less able to tolerate cold than younger adults.
Our Requirements
(Socks, beanies and scarfs)
Beating the Winter Chills
Older adults can lose body heat fast—faster than when they were young. A big chill can turn into a dangerous problem before an older person even knows what’s happening. Doctors call this serious problem hypothermia.
Our Requirements
(Throw overs and hot-water bottles)
The Lunch Drive
As we get older, our nutrition requirements and taste preferences change, so you might find yourself struggling to prepare dishes your loved one can chew, or trying to convince them to have ‘just a few more bites.’
Our Requirements
