Who we are?

VCARE is Pakistan’s first non-profit organization to promote the adoption of active and healthy lifestyles amongst the older population of Pakistan through capacity building, advocacy and offering a range of services to the frail elderly for their social, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing and to their caregivers. VCARE also encourages those in their mid-life to start planning and taking actions today to face the challenges of ageing tomorrow. VCARE was launched on October 8th 2011 by a group of doctors, public health consultant, social workers and business professionals. VCARE is registered Under the Social Welfare Act of 1961.

What we want?

We want to change the mind sets of our community, society and country on ageing. We want to encourage the elderly population to become a more productive, healthy, independent, and active part of the society and live the rest of their lives endowed with dignity, love and joy because WE CARE for them...
