Ageing Nepal

Ageing Nepal is a prominent non-governmental organization in Nepal dedicated to improving the lives, rights, and dignity of older people across the country. Established in 2011 by a group of professionals and social activists, it works to address the growing challenges of Nepal’s ageing population, including healthcare access, social security, elder abuse, loneliness, and lack of age-friendly infrastructure. The organization actively promotes awareness about ageing-related issues and advocates for the inclusion of senior citizens in national policies and development programs. It conducts research, training, and capacity-building activities in the field of gerontology and geriatric care, helping to improve professional knowledge and services related to elderly care in Nepal. Ageing Nepal also works closely with government bodies, local communities, and international organizations to develop age-friendly environments where older people can live with respect, independence, and security. Through various community programs, awareness campaigns, and policy advocacy efforts, the organization strives to ensure that elderly citizens are treated with dignity and are not marginalized in society. By addressing both social and health-related challenges of ageing, Ageing Nepal plays an important role in shaping a more inclusive and supportive society for older generations in Nepal.
