In honor of the International Day of Older Persons (IDOP 2026), BHECO Home Care partnered with the State Department for Social Protection, the Ethel Foundation, the Department of Gender, Children and Social Protection, and Jafra Food Processors to host a celebration centered on dignity, care, and hope for our elders.
Key Highlights of the Event:
Advocacy & Protection: The County Commissioner and Director Gathoni Mathu highlighted the urgent need for stronger rights, accessible services, and mechanisms to address elder abuse.
Healthcare Access: A vital call to action was made encouraging older persons to register with the Social Health Authority.
Nutrition & Wellness: Dr. Frashiah Moidia, CEO of Jafra Food Processors, led discussions on healthy nutrition for senior well-being. Fortified, nutrient-dense flour and meals were distributed to support healthy aging.
Joy & Community: Beyond speeches and data, our elders celebrated through dance, shared meals, and joyful social interactions.
Healthy aging is about more than just longevity—it’s about living with dignity, connection, and joy.
