Caring for our aging parents is one of the most profound responsibilities we will ever have. For many professionals in midlife — especially those balancing demanding careers, families, and distance from home — it can also be one of life’s greatest challenges.

 

Through the Caring for Elderly Parents Remotely Project, we help people over 50 navigate the emotional and practical realities of supporting aging parents. Whether your parents live in the next village, at a nearby city, or across continents, you can still offer meaningful care that honours their traditions, identity, and dignity, while ensuring they grow and eat indigenous vegetables, and document family stories, traditions, and heritage across generations.

 

 

Why I Started This Project

This project was born out of both personal experience and deep cultural awareness.
Like many of you, I found myself managing a busy professional life while ensuring my elderly parent — living thousands of miles away — stayed healthy, safe, and connected to her cultural practices.

 

Through my journey, I discovered a vital truth: Caring from a distance doesn’t mean caring less.

With thoughtful planning, cultural understanding, and the right support system, caregiving — whether near or far — can be deeply fulfilling for both you and your parents.

 

Our Areas of Focus

Our work centers on three interconnected pillars designed to help you care more effectively, and meaningfully across generations and geographies.

 

1. Culturally Sensitive Eldercare

We guide you to provide care that respects your parents’ beliefs, customs, and daily rhythms. Whether it’s the food they eat, or the rituals they cherish, we help you weave those into their care routines, even from afar. 
You’ll find practical tools, resources, and stories to help you stay emotionally present and culturally connected, no matter the distance.

 

2. Growing Indigenous Vegetables 

Food is more than nutrition; it’s identity, memory, and healing.
Through step-by-step guides on growing indigenous vegetables and preparing traditional recipes, we help you and your elderly parents reconnect with ancestral foodways that support healthy aging and preserve biodiversity.
Whether you’re planting a small garden at home or helping your parents maintain theirs, these practices strengthen family identity and cultural pride.

 

3. Documenting Family Traditions and Heritage

Starting from the understanding that every family is a living archive, we provide tools to help you capture and preserve your parents’ stories, practices, and values through journaling, audio, and video storytelling. The goal is to ensure their legacy thrives for future generations.

 

Who This Is For

This platform is for midlife adults — typically in their 40s, 50s, and beyond — who are caring for elderly parents and other loved ones, while managing a career, and or a family. 

You may live abroad or in a city far from your aging parents. You believe in honouring your parents’ traditions while embracing the realities of modern life. You’re ready to offer love, presence, and support — from nearby or afar.

 

How You’ll Benefit

Here, you’ll find:

• Insightful blog posts and guides on remote and in-person eldercare
• Practical advice on communication, planning, and caregiver wellbeing
• Gardening and recipe tips for aging parents
