WHO ARE WE
Caregiving International is an internal nonprofit organization founded by Clarissa Fells Smith and led by several other members of the board. Base in Birmingham, Alabama, we intend to bring awareness to all persons about the plight, struggle, and need for elder abuse prevention and protection. We understand that teaching our children and communities to care for elders makes a more humane society. America is lagging in how we treat, honor, and respect an aging population. We must start educating and informing generations now to establish a solid foundation of honor, which begins at home. Many problems in America's culture today can be traced to a lack of honor and respect for elders, such as: disobeying elders and adults, rule violations, and disrespect at home, school, and community, which contributes to crime, violence, and increased incarceration.
