Today, we honour the wisdom, resilience, and contributions of our elders – the storytellers, the caregivers, and the foundation of our communities. At the SAVF, we believe that every older person deserves dignity, love, and belonging. 💙

This day is a reminder to celebrate their lives, advocate for their rights, and ensure they are cherished not just today, but every day.
