As an organization working on behalf of older people worldwide, IFA is keeping a close eye on the situation in Haiti, and will continue to do so well beyond the immediate devastation.  It is an unfortunate truth that older people are often not prioritized in emergency situations, even though their knowledge and experience are vitally important to rebuilding communities following natural disasters.   The IFA, together with HelpAge USA and HelpAged International and others are working to ensure that vulnerable older people are not forgotten.  For the IFA our interest is beyond today with the view to the future, in supporting local grass root organizations with grants to support the development of programs and services that will be sustainable long into the future.

You can make a difference in rebuilding the lives of older Haitian people with donations to organizations that give priority to older people. Please donate to IFA or to our partners and make a difference!
