Overview

Healthcare and social services disparities are increasing following increasing inequalities in socio-economic status. GCVSI is making a significant case and advocacy in addressing the growing marginalization and discrimination between high-income and low-income families and different demographics. As a result, the burden of poor health continues to fall disproportionately on lower-income families and the most vulnerable populations (Older Adults, the homeless, refugees, and victims of gender-based v). The resulting social and economic insecurity is rapidly translating into an increasing gap between the rich and the poor within various communities in access to the necessary healthcare services and socio-economic opportunities to develop resilience in the face of any stress agents. GCVSI VISION GCVSI envisages a society of equal rights for all age groups, promoting the eradication of all forms of marginalization and discrimination against the Vulnerable Population (Older Adults, the homeless, refugees, and victims of gender-based violence) through multi-level stakeholder engagements, multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary integration of policy frameworks, health promotion, capacity building training for the workforce, project implementation and coordinated advocacy geared towards changing the narratives. Our History An experience they say is the best teacher. An account of a childhood experience could push tears down any person's eyes—the fuel behind the wheels pushing for a better and inclusive life for all. As l began recognizing and understanding the environment, it became clear that one of my parents (father) was an Older Person. He was 70 when l was just seven (7) years old. A peasant farmer feeds from hand to mouth with a handful of children to care for with no thoughts toward post-primary education. He accepted the reality of multi-dimensional and devasting poverty galvanized by no education, incapability, and lack of socio-economic empowerment.
