About Us
Genect is on a mission to create a harmonious coexistence of generations. We envision a future where wisdom is shared, connections are made, and both seniors and youngsters contribute to each other's well-being.
Social Missions
Addressing Social Isolation
​
Many senior citizens, especially those living in nursing homes, often experience social isolation and loneliness. They may lack regular social interactions with family and friends, leading to feelings of isolation. Genect aims to address this issue by providing them with opportunities to engage with younger individuals. Social isolation among the elderly can lead to various health problems, including depression and cognitive decline. By connecting seniors with youngsters, Genect can combat this isolation and improve their mental and emotional well-being.
​
Challenging Ageism
​
Ageism is a form of discrimination or prejudice based on a person's age, particularly targeting older individuals. It can result in stereotypes, bias, and unequal treatment. Genect challenges ageism by fostering intergenerational understanding and breaking down stereotypes. Youngsters who participate in the program have the chance to see the wisdom and value that older generations bring to society. This exposure can help combat ageist attitudes and promote respect for individuals of all ages.
​
Bridging Generational Disconnect
​
In today's rapidly changing world, generational disconnect is a common issue. Older and younger generations often have different perspectives, values, and lifestyles. This disconnect can lead to misunderstandings and strained relationships within families and communities. Genect bridges this gap by creating a platform for open dialogue and cultural exchange. Youngsters have the opportunity to learn from the life experiences of senior citizens, gaining valuable insights into history, traditions, and lessons learned over time. This can lead to greater empathy and understanding between the generations.
