International jury selects only global NGO with singular focus on improving the lives of the world's fastest growing population—older people

Championing the rights and wellbeing of older people alongside a global network of partners and local NGOs is at the core of HelpAge International’s work. But entrenched ageism and discrimination mean that the rights of a growing population of older people continue to be overlooked.
