Official Proposal Summary

1.0 Executive & Organization Summary

Golden Care Organization (GCO) is a community-based organization founded to support elderly persons and widows living in vulnerable conditions in Samburu County, specifically Samburu North Sub-County, South Horr Location.

Many elderly people and widows in this region live in extreme poverty, social isolation, neglect, and poor health due to limited family support, harsh climatic conditions, and weak access to social services.

GCO exists to restore dignity, hope, and care to these vulnerable groups through regular home visits, emotional support, basic material assistance, and community-driven care systems. While GCO does not currently have formal partners, it is sustained through team member contributions and goodwill support from friends and well-wishers.
