About OAFSSA
For more than four decades, Afghan people have lived with and have suffered from the atrocities of war. This has created trauma and sadness among people living in Afghanistan, as well as those
who immigrated to settle in Canada and other parts of the world. Our seniors face an array of problems in their new country due to language and cultural barriers; moreover, discussing the sad story of war can serve to re-traumatise them.
The Afghan senior’s population in the GTA is increasing, with more and more joining their families. But unfortunately, when they join with their families, they can feel disconnected.
While the new generation struggles to follow their routines and responsibilities, most seniors have felt isolated. There was no place for them to go to feel a sense of community.
For this reason, a group of Afghans came together to decrease their loneliness, stress, and anxiety, and on July.07. 2006 under the name of Afghan-Canadian Senior Centre, (changed to Ontario Afghan Family and Seniors Services Association ”OAFSSA” in May 2013) we began our activities as a non-profit corporation, with approval from the Ministry of Industry.
Our Objectives
- To improve the quality of seniors’ lives.
- To improve the integration of Afghan seniors with other communities.
- To learn more about wellness, diet, physical activity.
- To relieve loneliness and, together solve their problems.
