FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
Adopt a Grandparent Initiative – Kenya was founded from a deep concern for elderly people suffering silently in our communities.
Many older persons are abandoned, isolated, hungry, sick, and forgotten despite the sacrifices they made for families and society throughout their lives.
This organization exists to restore dignity and bring hope back into the lives of elderly people by ensuring they are cared for, respected, protected, and loved.
We envision a future where no grandparent sleeps hungry, suffers alone, or dies neglected.
