Our next Global Ageing interview as part of the Global Older People’s Care & Support Day 2024 is from Kenya with Rev Ngere H.N
The interview highlights how attending the 2023 Global Ageing conference revitalised Rev Ngere’s ministry work with older persons. With over a decade of part-time consultancy, they gained valuable insights and connections.
Successes include engaging Kenya’s ministry for older persons, forming the SENIOR CITIZEN GROUP for psychosocial support, and delivering successful pre-retirement training.
Barriers involve diverse needs among older adults, tech adaptation challenges, and resource limitations.
Future plans focus on developing a tailored curriculum, advocating for revised retirement ages, and creating home-based care options.
