Welcome to ZAZI Konnect
At ZAZI Konnect, we believe in the power of dialogue, culture, and mutual respect to bridge intergenerational gaps. Join us in creating a transformative community initiative that connects elders and young adults.
About us
ZAZI Konnect started with a simple mission: To create meaningful opportunities for cross-generational connection, learning, and community healing.
Based in Toronto, Canada, we are a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering connections. Our aim is to bridge the gap between elders 60+ and young adults 25 - 45 through dialogue, culture, and mutual respect; reflecting our commitment to inclusive futures.
Why ZAZI Konnect Matters
Building Communities
The decline of intergenerational homes and community support systems has drastically deepened the divide in empathy and understanding. This shift has undermined our ability to protect cultural heritage and build a more inclusive, united future for upcoming generations.
ZAZI Konnect seeks to bridge this gap by fostering communities that encourage meaningful intergenerational connections.
60+
1 in 3 older adults reports feeling lonely, which is a significant health risk and has been shown to have a comparable impact to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to findings by the CDC in 2023.
25-45
70% of millennials and Gen Z express a desire for more mentorship and connection to tradition, yet have few access points to elders in their communities.
Bridging Generations
ZAZI Konnect believes wisdom and innovation can coexist, and bridging these worlds strengthens communities.
Connecting generations isn’t just a nice idea, it is essential. These connections bring unique perspectives, skills, and experiences, enabling growth, understanding, and shared learning. They improve communication, reduce stereotypes, combat senior loneliness, and teach empathy and respect to younger individuals.
By uniting generations, ZAZI Konnect fosters inclusive communities where everyone feels valued, no matter their age.
