Inocencio and Corina from Colombia are older beneficiaries of HelpAge International's work.

Nyamizi, 73, was accused by a neighbour of bewitching his child. She was then brutally attacked but her attacker was never brought to justice. HelpAge and partners are training paralegal advisers to assist people like Nyamizi.

Hadija was accused of being a witch because she has red eyes from years of cooking on a smoky stove. HelpAge provides fuel efficient stoves, which produce less smoke, to people like Hadija to protect them from witchcraft accusations.

Mr Thong works three jobs to make ends meet. Since joining an Older People's Association, he has felt a lot more optimistic.

Meher had no idea that she was entitled to a pension until HelpAge's partner helped her access her rights.

After working in a shoe factory for most of his life, Don Agustin was sacked without explanation. When he tried to access his pension he was told he did not have one.

Barnabas' land was grabbed from him and his family by a neighbour. Through a project run by HelpAge's partner in Uganda, URAA, he was able to get legal advice and fight for his land.

Abdukayum, 68, needed legal help when his neighbours used his land without paying him. With our partner's help he finally recieved the compensation he was owed.
