Empowerment of Elderly in Improving Child Welfare
Halley Movement studied the ways of involving the Elderly into child care in Mauritius and Rodrigues. The result of the study is a report that is based on views collected through a participatory process involving citizens aged between 50 to over 70 years old, from different income groups in both rural and urban communities.
The report gives an insight into these communities’ views on child care, some causes of child abuse, the effects of abuse on the lives of children and some strategies on how the elderly may help to alleviate child abuse and also improve child and family welfare.
