The elderly in Lesotho often are rejected, live in fear and hardship. The only support they have is the R600 pension you qualify for at 70 years of age, many of them never reach that age. Many are looking after their grandchildren and feeding 5-7 people with their pension. We, unfortunately, can't help with any medical needs greater than basic pain medication. But we can support them with food parcels, and through regular visits to their home, we can encourage them and remind them they are loved. If you feel the need to help, please contact us.
