SDG 10
Forgotten People
Not every need fits neatly into a classroom or a feeding line. Forgotten People extends our promise of dignity to the elderly, the isolated, and communities other programs overlook.
What this program does
Forgotten People is BintiCare's growing commitment to reach the elderly, the isolated, and the communities other programs overlook — extending our promise of dignity to those most at risk of being left behind entirely.
Quick Facts
Why this program exists
Every community has people whose needs sit outside the usual categories of school-age children — the elderly living alone, families isolated by distance or circumstance, people overlooked by mainstream aid. Forgotten People is BintiCare's response: a program built to grow around whatever form of dignity and support is most needed.
