Let’s Put ‘Olden Is Golden’ Into Action!
We Make A Difference for the Elderly
We live by the statement ‘Olden Is Golden’, spearheading global change for the elderly on the world stage and in grassroots campaigns.
Our work in Ireland
- As a registered CLG in Ireland our work is to leverage on the amazing work done by Charities supporting old people in Ireland.
- In Ireland, Olden Is Golden Africa provides essential advice, guidance, and support to elderly migrants.
- We curate meaningful events designed to foster full integration, ensuring our seniors feel valued, cared for, and connected to their community.
- Whether they are newcomers or long-time residents navigating the transition from a busy career to retirement, many find themselves without a routine and feeling lost.
- By facilitating opportunities for migrant and native Irish seniors to connect, we promote positive integration and ensure our elders truly enjoy this final chapter of their lives.
Our Current Fundraising Initiatives
We are currently raising funds to establish our very first Community HUB in Moshi, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. This is just the beginning; our vision is to build five hubs in total—four across mainland Tanzania and one on the beautiful island of Zanzibar.

Our Vision is for Every Elderly Person to Feel...
Visible
We make sure every older person doesn’t feel marginalised or isolated, providing everything from social events to education on how to include the elderly in the day-to-day of their communities.
Valued
From knowledge clubs that inspire the next generation to empowering communities, we work to make sure every elder feels valued and respected.
Supported
We give free medical check-ups, IT classes, fitness lessons, and so much more so our elderly can feel supported and comfortable in their golden years.
It's Time to Take Action!
Our team are always ready to help older people feel valued, visible, and supported in their communities. Join us in supporting them today.
What We Do
Our mission is to ensure the elderly are visible, valued, and supported. We want to create more inclusive communities where older people are kept centre stage of day-to-day interactions and have full access to every aspect of life. This includes social, economic, political, and cultural opportunities. We currently work with communities in Africa predominantly, although we work to campaign for a shift in how we treat the elderly worldwide.
Empowering Communities
We work with communities in Africa to empower every generation. From the youngest to the oldest, we believe that educating communities on how to include your elders is an essential step. At Olden Is Golden, working with communities helps us achieve our ultimate goal – a world where the elderly are visible, valued, and supported.
Inspiring Confidence in Old Age
Being in your older years should not come with feelings of isolation and loneliness. We want to help our elders feel respected, confident, and included. That’s why we provide fun trips, social clubs, and even disco nights! To our clients, these are more than just social events. They’re a chance to find new opportunities, learn new skills, and make their own space within the community.
