The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign

Over 12 million African children have lost their parents to the AIDS epidemic, leaving grandmothers to raise orphaned children. Often infirm and impoverished themselves, grandmothers are further disadvantaged by discrimination, denial of rights and lack of resources.

The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, launched in Canada by the Stephen Lewis Foundation, is a unique, vibrant and dynamic international movement of grandmothers and grand-others. It supports the dignified and determined African grandmothers in their struggle to raise their grandchildren and provides funds for grassroots projects appropriate to their needs whether practical, medical, social or emotional, for example, seeds for vegetable plots, school uniforms, medical treatment or bereavement counselling. All projects are agreed by community-based organisations in consultation with African grandmothers themselves.
