• For Graceful Aging
DONATE

Our Mission

Creating, improving and maintaining access to high quality and affordable elder care services to support graceful aging.

Our Vision

A world where every elder citizen can access quality elder care services regardless of where they live.

Our Model

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.

Our Services

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.

Overarching Goals and Objectives

Older Persons’ Programs in Kenyan Communities

  • Ensure overall well-being by providing a continuum of services including group day care, home-based care, and residential care.
  • Capacity building older persons and their households through training programs including dementia management.
  • Along with national and international stakeholders, engage in advocacy work to ensure duty bearers carry out their mandate including establishing older persons policies and regulatory guidelines.
  • Ensure older persons remain active, e.g.by engaging in income generating initiative community led programs.

Youth and Women Programs in Refugee Communities

  • Train youth in refugee camps in agribusiness, digital freelancing, and other entrepreneurship skills.
  • Establish youth savings and investment groups, e.g. through Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to support small business startups among refugee communities.
  • Strengthen leadership, peace-building, and life skills for youth through mentor-ship and community forums.
  • Improve psycho-social well-being of youth through access to group therapy, sports, and creative arts programs.
  • Support youth-led micro-projects that address local community needs in within refugee communities.

Specific Goals and Objectives for Youth and Women Programs in Refugee Communities

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.
