Unseen and Devastating Challenges Faced by Children of Parents Living with Dementia in Sub Saharan Africa

Repost: In this inspirational episode Juliah sat down with Andrias Mungundu, an newly registered nurse and an advocate for dementia rights and education in Namibia.

 

Since his mother’s experiences with dementia Andrias has worked with organisations and government to overcome the stigma of dementia in African communities where people are often accused of witchcraft.

 

His mother’s experiences with lack of understanding and treatment had massive impacts on the family, but Andrias was determined to support his family

 

He espouses very human and sympathetic ways to care for people with dementia, arguing that they need the same sort of patience we have for small children as they need to be cared for how they cared for their families in life.

 

So listen in and be inspired by Andrias and his journey.
