Ageing is a triumph of our times, yet over 100 million older people live on less than a dollar a day.

HelpAge International has been working since 1983 to improve the lives of disadvantaged older people, through a global network that today spans more than 70 affiliate organisations in 50 countries.

We have a vision of a world in which all older people fulfil their potential to lead dignified, healthy and secure lives. Older people may be marginalised today, but they offer an enormous potential for development tomorrow. Help us realise that vision.
