A simple mosquito net can defend an older person against malaria and make the difference between life and death.
Cows 'n' Things is an ethical gift scheme run by Age UK in partnership with their sister organisation, HelpAge International, to support older people in more than 40 developing countries.
The World has an increasingly aged population. Approx 100 million older people in developing countries survive on less than 60 pence a day. They make an invaluable contribution to keeping families together when communities are ravaged by conflict, HIV, famine or drought.
Every time you buy an alternative gift from Cows 'n' Things, not only do you put a smile on the face of a friend or family member, but you also make a real contribution to improving the lives of disadvantaged older people around the world.
Older people are often forgotten in emergency situations, when emergency packages, food and shelter could mean the difference between life and death. Older people often look after their grandchildren orphaned following disasters, war or AIDS. Age UK help them support themselves and their dependents, with support for schooling or a method to generate an income
Age Concern and Help the Aged have joined forces to become Age UK to be there for everyone in later life. They believe that age needs respect, kindness and also help.
Age UK has a vision of a world in which older people flourish. By buying charity gifts from their ethical gift shop Cows 'n' Things you are helping to raise money to provide support where it is most needed across 50 countries.
