Proposed programme · Seeking support

Ageing with dignity.

A community-based care model designed to help older people live healthier, safer, and more connected lives in Lira City.

Care within the community

The Foundation is seeking support to establish a structured elderly-care programme. It brings together regular home visits, practical assistance, psychosocial support, and connections to health and social services.

The programme is proposed; the activities below describe the planned model, rather than a claim that every service is already operating.

Delivered through seven programmes

The care model brings together the seven programmes established under Article 5 of the constitution.

How the model will work

  1. Listen and identify needs. Community mapping will help identify older people who need social, emotional, medical, or material support.
  2. Build trusted connections. Trained volunteers will provide regular home visits, companionship, and wellbeing follow-up.
  3. Connect people to services. The programme aims to support referrals, health education, and follow-up with appropriate providers.
  4. Strengthen everyday care. Caregiver training will cover respectful communication, nutrition, hygiene, disability inclusion, and safe home care.
  5. Learn and improve. Field reports and simple digital tools will help coordinate visits and track support, with informed consent and confidential handling of information.

What success would look like

More consistent care, less isolation, stronger family support, and better access to services. Planned monitoring includes visits completed, referrals followed up, caregiver training, and beneficiary feedback.
