Talk to Josephine
Campaigners around the world have been connecting across borders to champion the rights of older people through our Age Demands Action campaign.
A unique dialogue has seen some of our campaigners in Kenya connect with older people in European countries such as the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Ireland. They've been learning about each other's lives and sharing their thoughts on why protecting the rights of older people is so important to them.
Josephine from Kenya is one of the campaigners introducing people to her world. You can also watch other campaigners Paul and Rhoda talk to people in the EU.
You can sign the EU Lead the Way petition, which is calling for the EU, as the world's largest aid donor, to include older people in their development policies and programmes.
You can also add your voice to the conversation by leaving a message for Josephine on this page.

Josephine i really appreciate what you are doing to the kids,may God bless you abundantly,i think the Governments need to do something for social protection for older people like Josephine and others

Josephine, you are a rare and wonderful courageous woman. Put on this Earth to show the powerful nature of the real human spirit and soul. My hope is that things get easier for you-but I know that you have in heart everything, that most people unfortunately lack sometimes-true compassion and genuine kindness. Things can change and with constant campaigning the Government can be made eventually to listen. Keep up the good fight, and take care.
