Age With Dignity
We envision all older persons age with dignity, living impactful, self-fulfilling, grateful, and regret-free lives. So, we provide comprehensive physical, nutritional, psychological, and spiritual care in their homes and in purpose-built care homes
Our Story
Older people, like precious emeralds remain valuable no matter how much time passes! Such was the impression on Solita (Our Founder), aged 24 then, upon encountering Alugelesia (85), a childless widow, in 2019. Their unforgettable conversations beneath the broken shade of Alugelesia’s ramshackle hut, before she went to be with the Lord in 2022, seeded what has since sprouted into Emerald Foundation Uganda – in name and character, growing from a friendship of two to a family today, of 511+ older persons, cared for, supported, and assisted to age with dignity by a team of young people.
Compassionate Care
Old age comes with unique needs and challenges that typically require lived experience to understand. But what makes our youthful team well positioned to address these through compassionate care is the blend of our energetic approach, fresh perspectives, and genuine empathy. We combine passion with a forward-thinking mindset to bridge the generational gap, offering innovative solutions to combat isolation, loneliness, neglect, abuse and poverty among the elderly people.
