About the Project

Lishe kwa Wazee (“Elderly Nutrition”) is a digital awareness campaign promoting the health, dignity, and wellbeing of older adults in Tanzania. Through storytelling, education, and community engagement, the project advocates for accessible, nutritious diets while ensuring elders remain seen, valued, and cared for.

Why It Matters

As people age, proper nutrition becomes essential for maintaining health, strength, and dignity. However, many elderly Tanzanians face limited access to nutritious food, low income, and a lack of information on age-appropriate diets. Promoting good nutrition is not just about food—it is about care, independence, and improving quality of life for our elders.
