International appeal

Who could you help?

Age UK provides practical support to older people in some of the poorest countries in the world.

We need your help to reach older people whose lives have been devastated in natural disasters or conflicts, to provide healthcare programmes, agricultural and water projects and to support older people who are caring alone for grandchildren.

Below are a few examples of how your gift could help us change the lives of older people across the world.

Gift of sight

£14 helps pay for a life-changing cataract operation to restore the sight of an older person in a developing country.

A year's schooling

£25 can help pay a year’s school fees to enable a grandchild orphaned by AIDS to attend primary school.

Medical care

£100 could cover the cost of eight home care visits from a doctor in a Mobile Medical Unit.
