Qui sommes-nous
The non-profit making organisation HelpAge Deutschland was founded on 12th July 2005 as a development organisation calling for social, economic and cultural rights for old people. It is part of the worldwide network HelpAge International.
HelpAge Deutschland supports exemplary projects in developing and transition countries in the areas of social security, nutrition, health care, knowledge transfer and cultural diversity, as well as the integration of the elderly. These projects are aimed at enabling older citizens to achieve recognition, financial security, well-being and a life of dignity.
At the same time, HelpAge Deutschland exerts influence on the age and development policies of the German government and the European Union, to sensitise politicians, economists and the general population to the needs and interests of senior citizens.
HelpAge Deutschland is also active in offering emergency disaster aid.
HelpAge Deutschland supports projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America in the key areas mentioned above. These projects are generally implemented by partner organisations on the ground. HelpAge offers advice, monitors the projects and continuously evaluates results. Thereby HelpAge Deutschland relies on the regional and national offices which maintain the worldwide international network.
