We create paths to a
meaningful old age

Med fokus på de ældre, der har
mindst socialt og økonomisk.

The EGV Foundation (Social inclusion of Older Adults)

For over a century, we have fought loneliness, inequality, and marginalization of older persons. Today we do this by supporting innovative research, social development, and the dissemination of knowledge about a meaningful and social old age.
 

FUNDED PROJECT

Visit in Mother Tongue

Visit in Mother Tongue is a befriending service that provides an opportunity for vulnerable and lonely senior citizens to benefit from visits by volunteers with whom they share a native language.

The initiative has been developed by World’s Women Denmark. The foundation has supported the first year of the initiative and published a research report of the most crucial experiences. From 2022-24, Visits in Mother Tongue is supported by the Municipality of Copenhagen and the Municipality of Gladsaxe.
