HelpAge SL and HelpAge Deutschland empower senior citizens through HASOP
Daily FT
|August 27, 2025
HELPAGE Sri Lanka (HASL) in partnership with HelpAge Deutschland (HAD), is making a significant impact on the lives of older persons through the HelpAge Sri Lanka Older Persons' Empowerment Project (HASOP).
-
Launched in December 2024, the project continues through the end of 2025, working across Galle, Matara, and Hambantota districts to promote dignity, inclusion, and active participation for senior citizens.
The HASOP adopts a holistic approach to elder empowerment, integrating advocacy for rights, improved access to healthcare, sustainable livelihood development, and strengthened leadership within Senior Citizens' Clubs (SCCs).
"Through HASOP, we are not just delivering services — we are creating empowered communities where elders lead, contribute, and thrive," said HASL Head of Programs Chaminda De Silva. "This project is redefining how society views ageing—not as a burden, but as a phase of life full of potential. We are equipping older persons with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to advocate for their rights and take ownership of their well-being."
