Our elders are our history
A group of young gerontologists of African origin living in Europe. During a stay in Africa, we witnessed the precariousness and difficulty accessing appropriate care experienced by the elderly. We formed an association to promote gerontology and research on aging in Africa. This distinction will enhance our standing among our partners and the people we support.
