*Celebrating Mothers and Family: A Call to Action for Elder Care*
As we join the global community in celebrating Mother's Day and the importance of family, we take this opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the invaluable contributions of our beloved mothers and loved ones to the development and well-being of our society.
At UniversalFriendshipOrganisation, we recognize the significant role our mothers and elderly family members have played in shaping our communities and nation. However, we are concerned about the challenges many of them face, including:
- Isolation from family and friends
- Accusations of witchcraft
- Community neglect and abandonment
- Loss of dignity and respect
These challenges are unacceptable and heartbreaking. As a society, we must do better to support and care for our elderly citizens. That's why we urge the government to establish age-friendly centers where seniors can access:
- Social services
- Recreational activities
- Support services
- Healthcare
- Counseling
These centers would provide a safe and welcoming space for seniors to socialize, engage in activities, and receive the care and support they deserve.
We believe that every elderly person deserves to live with dignity, respect, and care. It's time for us to prioritize their well-being and create a society that values and supports its aging population.
*We call on the government to:*
- Establish age-friendly centers across the country
- Provide resources and support for elderly care
- Promote intergenerational learning and community engagement
Together, we can create a brighter future for our elderly citizens.
