Vision of GCN
Today’s young and hard working generation is the elders of tomorrow. With a life time of hard work, they deserve a dignified and cared for old age, not as a charity from the younger generation but as the rights of their own. As elders are the living history of society, it is important to utilize their knowledge, skills and experience for socio-economic development. Today’s youth should be able to plan for their happy old age and today’s elders should get a dignified and cared for life full of happiness. It is the vision of GCN that elders of Nepal will have such environment with facilities and services to suit their personal need, capacity and the taste.
