Afghan widow Roshan, with one of her grandsons. © CARE / Kieran Green1 October is the International Day for Older Persons. Roshan, from Afghanistan is an inspiring woman in her community.
She is an active member of a local CARE-organised widows' association, and with them has been a major agent of change in her family and her local area. An example of this is the motorcycle cart she was able to get for her community to share - which now helps them transport goods to and from market.
