KUNSAKA

Kunsaka is established to promote social inclusion, by working with people in London, especially the London borough of Wandsworth, who are socially excluded on the grounds of their financial hardships, ethnic origin, old age, or ill health and to relieve the needs of such people and assist them to integrate in the society.

Kunsaka supports disadvantaged and socially excluded African elderly people in the London borough of Wandsworth. Many African elderly people in the borough need culturally appropriate services to address issues of discrimination, language barriers and lack of confidence. Kunsaka runs lunches, social clubs, inter-generational volunteering, dance classes, and other programmes to help elderly people engage and overcome any problems they are facing.
