Following decisions of the Prime Minister and the provincial People’s Committee on the approval of a project to multiply the Intergenerational Self-Help Club model in the 2016-2020 period, the province has so far set up 15 clubs with 797 members. The clubs have effectively implemented such activities as providing health care, increasing the cultural and spiritual life and incomes of members thanks to support of other members and the community’s assistance.

Experts from Washington University work with representatives from provincial Association of the Elderly’s standing board.

Through activities of clubs, the provincial Association of the Elderly acknowledged the importance of stepping up disseminations to raise awareness of agencies and sectors of establishing and multiplying the club model and facilitating the operation of existing clubs.

It is necessary for the association and its chapters to join hands in club activities and mobilise resources to serve the care for and promotion of the role of the elderly as well as the establishment of clubs.

The establishment of more clubs should take into account the selection of locations and competent and responsible leaders to make club operations successful.

At the working session, the Washington University delegation showed their impression with commitments and support by the provincial Party Committee and authorities for operations of the provincial Association of the Elderly and Intergenerational Self-Help Clubs.

They said that the Intergenerational Self-Help Club model is necessary to get adapted to population aging and care for and promote the role of elder people. Independent assessment results of experts will serve as an important foundation to consider and propose the mobilisation of resources to assist the association’s activities.

Earlier, the working delegation paid fact-finding tours to Kim Boi district and Hoa Binh city./.
