Meet The Founder

The Olds Not Old Foundation was founded by Dr. Chetachukwu Amalu, a passionate global health advocate committed to improving the lives of elderly populations in Africa.

Dr. Amalu experiences working in healthcare in Nigeria opened her eyes to the alarming lack of support and resources for elderly citizens, particularly in rural and marginalized communities. As she recounts, "When my attending and I searched about elderly safeguarding in Nigeria, we were devastated to learn that 'Nigeria has no functional national policy on the care and welfare of older persons.'" This harsh reality reflected a broader global crisis that Dr. Amalu was determined to address.

Drawing from her medical training and research background, Dr. Amalu established the Olds Not Old Foundation to "address the global challenge of aging populations through education, health monitoring, and innovative healthcare solutions." Under her leadership, the organization has implemented impactful programs that leverage technology, community engagement, and evidence-based practices to enhance the wellbeing of the elderly.

"The success of these programs has shown that aging populations represent a growing global public health challenge that requires evidence-based solutions and international collaboration," reflects Dr. Amalu.

With a vision to scale her work globally, Dr. Amalu is pursuing advanced training in global health to further develop innovative, sustainable approaches to elderly care. As she explains, "Through partnerships with international organizations and local healthcare facilities, we've demonstrated that community-level interventions can significantly improve health outcomes for geriatric populations in resource-limited settings."

Guided by her passion and commitment to creating a healthier, more inclusive world for the elderly, Dr. Chetachukwu Amalu continues to lead the Olds Not Old Foundation in its mission to redefine the aging experiences
