To provide holistic community care that integrates medical, social, rehabilitation and supportive services for vulnerable populations — empowering individuals and families, especially older persons in rural Nigeria, to live healthier, more independent lives.

Our Vision

An inclusive Nigeria where older persons and vulnerable individuals have equitable access to compassionate, quality care and the dignity they deserve.

Core Values

Integrity, respect, excellence and compassion guide every service we deliver.

Our Journey

Systems change for older persons in rural Nigeria

EL-AGED CARE strives to improve the system of care for older persons residing in remote and rural communities in Nigeria.

Founded on an idea first conceived in 1987, we now lead a coalition of 60 member organizations — the Association of Care Service Providers to Older Persons in Nigeria (ACSPOPIN) — and helped develop Nigeria's first Aged Care Quality Standards manual.
