Growing Old in Africa - Part One

African Perspective

Available for over a year

"If your elders take care of you while you are cutting your teeth, you must in turn take care of them while they are losing theirs." Africans have respected their elders and a large extended family could guarantee support and respect for the elderly. But Africa's younger generations are moving away from this traditional family care system.
