Introduction

Based on our firm belief that the rights of the elderly are an integral part of human rights, we are committed to embodying these rights in a manner that respects the elderly's privacy, including their social, economic, and health conditions. This embodiment is fundamentally about providing these rights to those who have contributed significantly to building our community and raising future generations. As life progresses, we provide care and affection to others when we are in good health and receive it back when we need support and care. Out of respect for the elderly's abilities, which may be limited by age and health conditions, and recognizing the wealth of experience and knowledge they possess, we work with the elderly rather than just providing services to them.

Program Objectives
