Caring with Compassion: Geriatric Care Training

In Cairo, seven Sudanese refugee women received professional geriatric care training under the guidance of nurse Dr. Suzy Kelada from San Diego. These women, most of them single mothers, learned essential skills to care for the elderly with dignity, gentleness, and compassion.

In a country where elder care is limited, they are now meeting a deep need while gaining a stable, portable skill that can support their families wherever life leads. As Dr. Suzy expressed, “We are not just training them to move a body; we are training them to move a soul toward hope.”
