Meet Elpina Muangura, 62, from Nairobi, Kenya. 🧶🌟 After losing her job as an office administrator, Elpina turned her passion for crafting into a small business, creating beautiful bags, bedding, mats, and more to support her family. Though the income is modest, she finds joy and purpose in her work, staying active and inspired by new ideas. Elpina joined the Older People's Association (OPA) at HelpAge International Global Network member Kibera Day Care Centre (KDCC) two years ago, where she found love, support, and a community that encourages her. Now, she dreams of opening a shop to showcase her crafts and attract more customers. Her message? "Older people shouldn’t give up on life. Hold on, love yourself, and remember—it’s not over yet!" #ActiveAging #OlderNotOver

🎵 Try and come for my job 🎶 - said Taylor Swift. But actually, I do really, really want you to come for my job. With bittersweet feelings, I am leaving HelpAge International later this year. Are you the person I can hand the baton to? Or is someone you know that person? It's location flexible, and initially interim. Why apply? Well, because it's one of the best jobs in development, with a few big IFs - 1. If you can see ageism, and the injustice of it will motivate you to firewalk that fine line from advocacy to deal-making with donors. 2. If you want to work in a global organisation that has (almost) fully localised - so there is no command and control, no big department, instead you will be working with colleagues, partners and networks to create ideas that belong to all of you, and get them funded. 3. You're not afraid of a challenge - because this is a big challenge. The upside of that, is that this is a job in which you could actually change the world. In the BD team we want to ignite action on ageing from the donor community - with the 1.2 billion people over the age of 60 in the world. Hear us roar! I will soon announce what my next plans are but we still have one big report to launch here before I start to let go. So in the meantime, just take a look at the job, see if it fits right with your heart and mind, then why not apply and see where it goes...
