What We Do
Our Services
At GECI, we understand that malnourishment is one of the main challenges of aging in Ethiopia. Many elderly people across cities and towns in Ethiopia are vulnerable to poverty, food insecurity and have limited access to social and health services. Therefore, we implement comprehensive programs that include making monthly cash distributions through the sponsorship program, repairing inhabitable homes, providing temporary shelters, and supporting local volunteers.
Monthly cash distribution
We make monthly cash distribution through sponsorship program by connecting each elderly person with the compassionate donors.
Repair inhabitable homes
We assist with repairing inhabitable homes of older people in collaboration with local volunteers.
Provide temporary shelter
We provide temporary shelter for the homeless where we provide food, counseling, and minor medical care.
Support local volunteers
We organize and support local volunteers and groups that help the older people with repairing homes, providing sanitation, and emotional support.
