Family Ark Mission

WHO WE ARE​

We are a Non-Governmental, Not-For-Profit organization founded in 1994 by our late President and Founder, Major (rtd) OLUBUNMI IDOWU-OKUSANYA with the original aim of preparing older persons living in Nigeria to approach and celebrate ageing in dignity and independence and to support them towards glorious and happy exit.

​

Family Ark Mission is registered with CAC as a Non-Governmental Organization. It is a non-profit making organization with registration number: CAC/IT/NO/25502 with the aim of putting smiles on our Elders and with the objective of collaborating with various organizations and stakeholders to disseminate aging and support services information to seniors, families, providers, community agencies, and the private and public sector.

​

OUR VISION

We see a Society where older people are celebrated and empowered to live a quality life with dignity, peace and purpose in their last days. We have a huge ambition and it may not be a quick journey but we are working every day, one older person at a time to achieve this. 

OUR MISSION

To advocate active ageing where older people remain actively fulfilled in all areas of their lives; physical, mental and social.

WE AIM TO:

• Alleviate loneliness amongst isolated elderly people through friendship, care and love

• Promote respect for the older people's dignity

• Foster independence and help the older people to live a better quality of life for as long as possible

• Liaise with statutory organisations and voluntary groups in an effort to improve the quality of life of those referred to Family Ark Mission

• Advocate and lobby the Government policy in favour of the older people by highlighting the difficulties they face and consulting with the policy makers

• Increase awareness of the important contribution elderly people have to offer

• To celebrate the achievements and contributions of the older people in our society through our World Elders Day events
