Ageing with dignity
In Bosnia and Herzegovina and Armenia, we support vulnerable elderly people in improving their quality of life. In partnership with the Swiss Red Cross, we help implement home care services that allow older, disabled or ill individuals to receive social support and medical attention in the comfort of their own homes.
Nurses carry out regular home visits to provide essential medical care, while carers assist with household chores, water collection, meal preparation and more. They also offer vital companionship to those living alone, providing comfort and a listening ear.
Beyond practical support, the work carried out by the Red Cross in Armenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina also helps older people remain active members of society, make their own choices and maintain social connections. Shared community spaces give them opportunities to meet, reconnect and engage in activities that often benefit others.
