በናሽቪል የኢትዮጵያውያን ማህበር (ኢማና) ለማህበረሰባችን አረጋውያን ልዩ ክብር እና ድጋፍ እንሰጣለን። አረጋውያኑ ጤናማ፣ ማህበራዊ ግንኙነታቸው የጠነከረ እና ራሳቸውን የቻሉ እንዲሆኑ የሚያግዙ ፕሮግራሞችን እናቀርባለን። አላማችን ባህላዊ እሴቶቻችንን እየጠበቅን የአረጋውያንን የኑሮ ጥራት ማሻሻል ነው።

የአረጋውያን ጤና

ኢማና ለአረጋውያን የሚመጥኑ የአካል ብቃት እንቅስቃሴዎችን፣ የጤና ምርመራዎችን እና የአመጋገብ ትምህርቶችን ያዘጋጃል። እነዚህ ተግባራት አረጋውያን ጤናቸውን እንዲጠብቁ እና ንቁ ሆነው እንዲቆዩ ይረዳሉ።

ማህበራዊ እና ባህላዊ ተሳትፎ

በቡና ቁርስ እና በባህላዊ ስነ-ስርዓቶች አማካኝነት አረጋውያን እርስ በእርሳቸው የሚገናኙበትን ዕድል እንፈጥራለን። ይህም ብቸኝነትን ከመቀነሱም በላይ የኢትዮጵያን ባህል ለቀጣዩ ትውልድ ለማስተላለፍ ይረዳል።

የትራንስፖርት እና የጉዞ ድጋፍ

አረጋውያን ወደ ህክምና ቀጠሮ፣ ወደ ፋርማሲ እና ገበያ እንዲሄዱ የትራንስፖርት ድጋፍ እናደርጋለን። ይህ አገልግሎት አረጋውያን አስፈላጊ የሆኑ ፍላጎቶቻቸውን በቀላሉ እንዲያገኙ ይረዳቸዋል።

የአደጋ ጊዜ ድጋፍ እና ክትትል

ኢማና የአረጋውያንን ደህንነት በየጊዜው ይከታተላል፤ እንዲሁም በአደጋ ጊዜ አስፈላጊውን ድጋፍ ያደርጋል። ይህም የምግብ አቅርቦትን፣ የትርጉም አገልግሎትን እና ሌሎች አስቸኳይ እርዳታዎችን ያካትታል።
