International Day of Older Persons 2025

The Foundation for Ageing and Inclusive Development (FAID) joins the global community in celebrating the International Day of Older Persons (IDOP) on October 1, 2025, in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Rights, Pakistan.

This year’s IDOP highlights the invaluable role of older people in shaping resilient societies and the need for policies that ensure dignity, protection, and inclusion for all generations.

As an organization dedicated to the welfare and rights of older persons in Pakistan, FAID works to:

• Promote healthy and active ageing.
• Advocate for stronger social protection systems.
• Encourage intergenerational solidarity.
• Ensure that older voices are included in policy and decision-making.

Celebrating IDOP reminds us that ageing is not a challenge, but an opportunity to build societies that respect and value the wisdom, experience, and contributions of older persons.

Together with our partners, FAID remains committed to creating a Pakistan where older people live with dignity, security, and inclusion.

Happy International Day of Older Persons!
