Recognizing the wisdom and needs of Moh\u00e9li\u2019s elders, as well as the rights and potential of those with disabilities, this ministry ensures they receive focused attention and support. For Aging (Elderly) Affairs, the ministry runs programs to improve the quality of life for older adults in Moh\u00e9li. This can include operating or supporting Senior Day Centers where the elderly can socialize and receive basic medical check-ups, as well as community initiatives like organizing home visits for isolated seniors. In Comorian culture, elders are traditionally respected and often cared for within extended families, but the government steps in to assist those who may not have family support or require additional care. <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8a6e2d9\" data-eae-slider=\"5782\" data-id=\"8a6e2d9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a93f2b elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1a93f2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/mwaliregistrar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-26.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-773\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ead30d0 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-eae-slider=\"91544\" data-id=\"ead30d0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05adef3\" data-eae-slider=\"9812\" data-id=\"05adef3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-57c61b4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"21912\" data-id=\"57c61b4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-627da46\" data-eae-slider=\"3680\" data-id=\"627da46\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d87ed5d elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d87ed5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"827\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/mwaliregistrar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-2-9.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-774\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-32a7851\" data-eae-slider=\"32740\" data-id=\"32a7851\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e44be61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e44be61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The ministry may coordinate a small pension or allowance program for the elderly (in line with any Union social security provisions) to ensure they have some financial security. They also organize events such as Elder Appreciation Day and workshops where elders pass on traditional knowledge and skills to the youth, thus integrating them actively in society. For Disability Affairs, the ministry advocates for and implements measures to make Moh\u00e9li more accessible and inclusive. This includes ensuring that public buildings (like schools, offices, health centers) have ramps or accommodations for wheelchair users, and that sign language interpretation or braille services are increasingly available for those with hearing or visual impairments.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c2897f9 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-eae-slider=\"24032\" data-id=\"c2897f9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e6e8039\" data-eae-slider=\"16378\" data-id=\"e6e8039\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9bb0cd3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"33624\" data-id=\"9bb0cd3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bfd4aa\" data-eae-slider=\"22398\" data-id=\"2bfd4aa\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6e62ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c6e62ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The ministry likely maintains a registry of persons with disabilities on the island to tailor services to their needs \u2013 such as providing mobility aids (crutches, wheelchairs) or hearing aids at subsidized rates.
