Caring for those who once cared for us

Supporting older persons and the families who care for them in Ghana.

Supporting Elders & Dementia Care in Northern Ghana
You are not alone
Understanding dementia together
Every elder deserves dignity

“Many elderly individuals are living with confusion, neglect, and loneliness. Many caregivers are overwhelmed, unsupported, and unsure where to turn. Some who wander due to dementia are even wrongly accused of witchcraft.”

— We are here to support you — and stand with you every step of the way.

Support Caregivers

Family caregivers are the unsung heroes of elderly care. We provide training, emotional support, respite programs, and peer networks to help caregivers sustain their vital role — without burning out.

Raise Dementia Awareness

Dementia is widely misunderstood across Ghana — often attributed to witchcraft or old age. Through community education sessions, radio campaigns, and school outreach, we're changing the narrative. We equip communities with knowledge to recognize early signs, provide compassionate care, and fight stigma.

Direct Elder Support

Many older persons in our communities live alone, without access to basic necessities. We provide home visits, health screenings, nutritional support, and companionship to elders who need it most — restoring dignity and ensuring no one ages in silence or neglect.

Stories of care, shared.

When my mother started forgetting our names, I felt lost. ALF helped me understand what was happening — and that I didn't have to face it alone.

The volunteers visit my father every week. They don't just bring food — they bring time, patience, and laughter. That is what he needed most.

I used to think dementia was a curse. The awareness sessions changed our whole community. There is more kindness now, more understanding.

ALF gave us hope when we were overwhelmed. The support group felt like a family — we share, we cry, we laugh together.

𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 Today, the Anaalie Legacy Foundation - ALF team visited an elderly woman in Tamale as part of our regular home visits. Beyond spending time with her, we had the opportunity to speak with her daughter-in-law, who lovingly cares for her every day. One thing she shared stayed with us: Words of encouragement from others have inspired her to continue giving her best. It was a beautiful reminder that caregivers also need appreciation, recognition, and support. We are grateful to our volunteer and Ambassador for Dignified Ageing and Dementia Care, Mariam Tiyumba Hamza, for sharing such a heartfelt reflection from today's visit. Every home visit reminds us that caring for older persons also means supporting those who care for them.
