Restoring Dignity and Smiles: Lancient's Mission for Elders
Lancient is dedicated to enriching the lives of elderly individuals in India. We address the growing concern of elders facing neglect, social isolation, and inadequate care, often placed in old age homes. Through essential resources, companionship, and advocacy, Lancient strives to bring back smiles, dignity, and well-being to our elders.
Fostering Comfort and Care
Lancient prioritizes improving the living conditions in old age homes. We collaborate with these facilities to ensure clean and comfortable spaces, proper sanitation, and access to essential amenities. This includes working on infrastructure improvements, providing basic necessities, and ensuring a safe and healthy environment for elders.
Cultivating Connections and Combatting Loneliness
Social isolation and loneliness are major challenges faced by many elders in old age homes. Lancient tackles this issue by organizing regular activities and events that encourage social interaction and foster a sense of community. This includes engaging them in conversations, games, cultural activities, and celebrations, ultimately promoting meaningful connections and combatting the negative effects of isolation.
Empowering Advocacy and Access to Resources
Lancient goes beyond immediate needs by advocating for long-term solutions. We work towards connecting elders with essential resources they may lack access to, such as healthcare services, educational programs, and legal aid. Additionally, Lancient actively works to raise awareness about elder care and advocate for policy changes that prioritize their well-being and ensure their rights are upheld.
U.N. Sustainable Development Summit
The U.N. Sustainable Development Summit in 2015 adopted the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, aiming to eradicate poverty, combat inequality and injustice, and envisioning a world where everyone can live in dignity. This agenda emphasizes the principle of leaving no one behind, which means ensuring that all individuals, including older people, are included in development efforts. To achieve this, it is essential to improve the collection and analysis of data related to older populations, ensure their voices are heard in policy-making processes, and challenge discriminatory practices that hinder their access to livelihoods, entitlements such as pensions and healthcare, and address issues like elder abuse.
