International Day of Older Persons
1st October 2026

On 1 October, the world marks the International Day of Older Persons. This year’s theme is “The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives.” It asks a simple question: if people are living longer, are our families, our cities and our services ready for those extra years?

What they need is support: trained caregivers, day care, home care, income security, and communities that keep older people included. Fatima Khalfan founded VCare Social Welfare Society — Centre for Ageing and Wellbeing — in 2011 for exactly that reason.

Her message is clear: Their today is our future. The care we build now is the future we will all grow into.

 
 

Support Vcare – Give Hope. Restore Dignity.

Every older person deserves to live with dignity, respect, and care. Sadly, many elderly people have no family support, no safe place to live, and no opportunity to age with comfort and purpose.
 
Vcare Social Welfare Society – A Centre for Ageing and Wellbeing is committed to changing that. Through compassionate care, rehabilitation, healthy ageing programs, and Dar-ul-Noor – A Home of Light and Hope, we help older persons rebuild their lives with dignity, love, and belonging.
 
Your generosity can make a real difference.
 
Support Vcare. Support dignity. Support hope.
 
Every donation—big or small—helps provide food, healthcare, rehabilitation, shelter, and a better future for older persons in need.
 
Together, let’s ensure that no older person is left behind.
