Family carers have little recognition & support in low-& middle-income countries. We're changing that

Around the world, the daily needs of ill and disabled adults and children are provided by their unpaid carers. These unpaid carers are usually a family member, often the mother or daughter, or maybe a friend. Carers Worldwide draws attention to the needs of unpaid family carers in low- and middle-income countries, promoting their recognition and drawing attention to their needs. We train and suppo

rt our local charity partners to include unpaid carers into their existing programmes and to initiate activities to meet the needs of carers at all levels – emotional, physical and economic. Our Mission is to achieve recognition of the role of unpaid family carers and to transform their lives, as well as those of their families and communities.

We are very proud to share that our Development Director, Ruth Patil, has recently had a chapter published in The Emerald Handbook of Family and Social Change in the Global South: A Gendered Perspective 💜🧡

In their chapter, "Who Cares for the Carers of People With Disabilities? Stories, Solutions and a Model From South Asia," Ruth and her co-author Mary Wickenden consider the lives of women who care for family members with disabilities and the dilemmas surrounding their work and lives.

Focusing on low- and middle-income settings and South Asia in particular, they explore how and why women do most of this particularly unrecognised and stigmatised form of - and how they can be better supported.

Thank you to SGCP - Self-help Group for Cerebral Palsy for sharing these moments from our Founder and Executive Director Anil Patil's recent visit to Nepal 💜🧡

It was a pleasure to meet with partners, discuss the future of Carers Alliance Nepal, visit organisations including Dalit with Disability Association Nepal - DDAN and spend time discussing how we can continue working together to better support unpaid family carers in Nepal.

Over the past few weeks, Anil has been travelling across India, Nepal and Bangladesh, meeting with our partners and seeing first-hand the progress being made in communities where we work.

As comes to a close, we're taking the opportunity to recognise the many people who make good care possible 💜🧡

Alongside healthcare professionals and care workers, unpaid family carers play an essential role in the wider care system - providing continuity of care before, during and beyond formal services.

Yet they often don't receive the recognition and support they deserve.

At Carers Worldwide, we believe that supporting is fundamental to building stronger, more compassionate care systems.
