The Service d'Assistance à personne à Domicile et dans les Hôpitaux de l'ONG Volontaires Internationaux pour la Santé en Afrique (SADH-VISA) initiated on Sunday 23 April at the Maison du Bien-Etre in Lomé a recreational outing for the elderly. The aim of this meeting was to help the elderly to have fun, to develop and to break with isolation and above all to reflect on their role and importance in society.

As time goes by, older people are less likely to go out. This can lead to frustration, isolation and illness. In order to contribute to the health and well-being of the elderly, SADH VISA, which is constantly committed to the development of the elderly, has initiated a recreational outing for the elderly. A moment of friendly relaxation and fruitful exchanges between seniors.

According to Rosalie Benthywa Johnson, Director of SADH VISA, the objective is for the elderly to reintegrate into society, to regain a taste for life and not to feel neglected.  « The objective of this recreational outing is to get them out of their corners, talk to each other, play games and recreate a little. During the meeting, they felt joyful, happy to have learned something about their health. To fight against loneliness and isolation and to break the isolation of the elderly, SADH-VISA is there to support them », she said.

Getting together with other elderly people and sharing a good time is very beneficial for their health. In this context, Rosalie Benthywa Johnson pleaded that at the national level, actions should be further strengthened in favour of the health of the elderly and taken into account in all programmes and projects.  « We appeal to the government to help us financially or materially to support our elderly people who are abandoned for lack of means in their homes », she said. She also invited the whole population to give more affection to the elderly.  The attachment to the culture of respect, solidarity and listening to the elderly are cardinal African values that must be maintained and promoted.
