Help older people with a regular gift

Who is Age International?

Age International is one of the only charities specialising in helping older people in some of the world’s poorest places – and is the international arm of Age UK.

How could my donation help an older person?

• Help older people get essential medicines and help them access health clinics
• Carry out free cataract operations and provide items such as glasses and walking sticks
• Provide age-friendly aid and save lives during emergencies
• Provide drought-resistant crops to protect an older person’s livelihood
• Help older people access the pension they are entitled to

Your donations will be used to support Age International’s work worldwide where the need is greatest.

Selam lives in Ethiopia and is the only family her granddaughter has left. Sadly Selam has cataracts, she’s going blind. This makes it hard for her to do everyday tasks and look after her granddaughter.

A cataract operation could save Selam’s sight. It’s a straightforward and inexpensive procedure – but Selam simply cannot afford it. Selam doesn’t know how her granddaughter would survive without her. 

“She’s the only one I have so I really take care of her”.
