One of the most important activities implemented by the Montenegro Red Cross as part of the social welfare is care of elderly people. Since September 2009, the programme is supported by the Italian Red Cross in 12 local branches, and in January 2010 the Austrian Red Cross became involved and supported the development of pilot projects in two northern municipalities of Montenegro.

The goal of the activities for the old persons is to facilitate their everyday life through provision of social protection services, as well as medical services in two pilot municipalities.
