]]> In Peru, more than 1.7 million older adults live in conditions of vulnerability, and according to public records, over 30% of them face abandonment, social isolation, or lack of basic resources. In remote rural and Amazonian communities, the reality is even harsher: thousands of elders survive without stable access to food, healthcare, or family support. Many live in small wooden homes, far from markets, clinics, or government programs. Their isolation is not only geographic—it is emotional and social.

This Giving Tuesday, AGAPE HAND is raising support for 1,200 abandoned elders (“abuelitos”) who urgently need consistent access to nutritious food and human connection. These elders are not statistics—they are people who once worked the land, cared for their families, and contributed to their communities. Today, many of them face their final years alone, with little more than determination to survive.

Through our Feeding Hands Program, we deliver nutritious food baskets, warm meals, hygiene supplies, and regular visits to elders living in extreme vulnerability. Our team reaches remote communities in the Peruvian Amazon and Central Jungle—areas where food insecurity is severe and where older adults often go unnoticed by formal systems.

We do not offer charity based on pity. We offer dignity, respect, and human connection.

Your Giving Tuesday contribution has the power to:

  • Ensure consistent food support for abandoned elders
  • Reach remote communities that rarely receive assistance
  • Provide emotional companionship and follow-up visits
  • Strengthen a sustainable community-based support model

When you give, you become part of a movement that restores dignity and hope to forgotten elders.

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to stand with them. Share your gratitude in the most meaningful way—by ensuring that no elder is left behind.

]]> There are certain risk factors that contribute to vulnerability in older adults like health status, social network, cognitive impairment, physical disability etc.

With collective efforts, these problems can be soughted out. If elderly are not able to get medication, special care, food and essential needs, they can be at increased risk of complications and death during emergency. Join hands with Agape Hand to become support of their social life. Involving them in day to day tasks, encouraging exercise, keeping the brain busy with all safety measures will reduce them becoming vulnerable. Older people should not be neglected and food baskets with healthy nutrition eatables should be provided to them.

Help us to continue feeding the elderly.
