Hanganak NGO Marks the International Day of Older Persons
Today, the world observes the International Day of Older Persons, a moment to honor the invaluable contributions of older generations. For Hanganak NGO, this occasion holds profound significance. Since its founding, Hanganak has been dedicated to providing healthcare, social assistance, and daily support to elderly people of Artsakh—all of whom were displaced by conflict and face the challenges of starting anew.
“Our beneficiaries are not only recipients of care, they are the bearers of memory, wisdom, and resilience,” the head of organization stated. “For us, every day is the Day of Older Persons. Our mission is to ensure that seniors live with dignity, security, and the warmth of belonging, despite the hardships they have endured.”
Continuing its mission, Hanganak stands beside hundreds of elderly individuals who were forced to leave behind their homes, memories, and life stories, finding themselves in a new reality. Each day, the organization listens to their stories, shares their concerns, and accompanies them in moments of joy and hope. On this special day, Hanganak bows with deep respect and gratitude to its elders: you are the guardians of memory, the carriers of values, and the light that illuminates the path to the future. Your experience, resilience, and strength of spirit inspire us all to build a more compassionate and united society, where older persons are not only cared for, but also cherished with love and respect.
