We are passionate about improving the lives of the elderly. And we would like you to be involved too.

Eldpathy aims to promote “Empathy for the Elderly” by encouraging participation in philanthropy toward the elderly. Due to the aging population, Hong Kong will soon become an Aging Society and so this will bring serious economic, medical and social challenges.

To heighten the understanding of the issues related to the elderly and to inspire more people to engage in projects related to the elderly, we offer our Elderly Simulation Program.

Eldpathy participants will learn through our 3E process: Experience, Empathize and Excited. The Eldpathy program enables participants to experience the life of an elderly person in their 70s by wearing a specially designed suit. Participants will then undertake Elderly Challenges – a series of fun tasks to experience real scenarios and hardships faced by the elderly. Additionally, we will employ underprivileged elders to share their experience and interact with the participants. The participants will build empathy through the elderly challenges and the cross-generation dialogue. Lastly, we will provide a platform for participants to channel their empathy by joining various elderly voluntary services.

We will target students and corporations who are interested in volunteering or expanding into elderly care and will be supported through revenue from program fees.

We also have a diverse advisory board of directors including professionals from the academic, social welfare and business fields. We are well positioned to tackle the aging problem in Hong Kong.
