Local Mission: To promote healthy, productive, and self-sufficient living for African immigrant/refugee older adult and elderly populations in the greater Metro Denver area. Our Vision: To act as advocates by promoting an environment of dignity and respect for what has become a marginalized population. Mission International To BUILD, LOVE and RESTORE hope; preserve historic, religious, and traditional values, legacy and wisdom acquired through life experience; advocate for the dignity, safety and respect of the homeless elderly in Africa- Ethiopia.
Description
Our focus is to maintain virtuous quality of life of elderly women and men by providing the basic necessities, such as food, shelter, and medical care, while nurturing the body, mind, and soul.
Our vision is twofold:
To serve as a bridge to create a
forum for sharing culturally appropriate best practices to meet the needs of the community, the majority of which are older adult and elderly women.
