Creating, improving and maintaining access to high quality and affordable elder care services to support graceful aging.
A world where every elder citizen can access quality elder care services regardless of where they live.
AgeWatch Africa merges both the innovative potential of entrepreneurship with the social goals of providing graceful aging to older people and marginalized communities in Kenya.
These include improving the lives and overall well-being of marginalized vulnerable communities in Kenya – e.g. older persons, children, women, and refugees. Support is channeled through healthcare, social support, and economic empowerment.
Objective: To equip refugee youth with market-relevant skills and resources to start income-generating activities or access employment.
Why: Most youth in refugee camps are unemployed or underemployed. Empowering them economically is the foundation for independence.
Objective: To provide digital literacy, freelancing, and entrepreneurship training to increase youth access to online and local job markets.
Why: Youth can earn through online work and small businesses if they gain practical digital and entrepreneurial skills.
Objective: To promote youth leadership, civic engagement, and peaceful coexistence through structured dialogue, mentoring, and community service activities.
Why: Youth are often involved in or affected by tension in refugee camps. Peacebuilding gives them purpose and responsibility.
Objective: To provide access to youth-friendly mental health support, trauma healing programs, and safe spaces for social interaction.
Why: Many refugee youths carry trauma from conflict and displacement. They need healing, hope, and a sense of belonging.
Objective: To create platforms for youth to lead social impact projects, propose solutions to community challenges, and access funding or incubation support.
Why: Youth in refugee communities have ideas – but lack the support to turn them into real change. This gives them voice and agency.
