Many elders and widows in rural Tanzania live without basic needs or family support. They've spent their lives working hard, raising families, and contributing to their communities. Now, in their later years, they deserve dignity, comfort, and support.
Our Comprehensive Support
KAP provides assistance through multiple programs:
Food & Clothing Distribution
Monthly support for elders and widows facing hardship ensures they have nutritious food and appropriate clothing throughout the year.
Beds & Mattresses
Many elders sleep on the ground, which causes health problems and discomfort. Our goal: "After a lifetime of work, everyone deserves a good night's rest." We provide beds and mattresses to ensure comfortable sleep.
Toilet Construction
Safe sanitation is life-changing. We build proper toilets for homes without sanitation to protect dignity, health, and security. This is especially important for elderly women living alone.
Chicken Coop Project
We empower elders with small income-generating activities. KAP builds chicken coops, provides starter chickens, and offers training. Eggs and chickens provide nutrition, small income, and daily purpose and responsibility.
The Impact
One elder shared: "Before KAP, I slept on the ground and worried about food. Now I have a bed, regular food support, and my chickens give me eggs to eat and sell. I feel valued and supported."
This program doesn't just provide material support — it restores dignity and gives elders a sense of purpose and community connection.
