Although the threat of AIDS has diminished in the developed world, in Africa millions still live with its scourge. There are at least 12 million AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan Africa alone. Grandmothers are central to the community there and some are raising 10 to 15 orphaned children. No words can describe how hard that is!
Canadian grandmothers have raised an astonishing $21 million for African grandmothers through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.
Resources from the Campaign are invested directly at community level, with grassroots organizations, They provide grandmothers and the children in their care with supports that include food, educational supplies, uniforms and school fees, medical care, HIV counseling and testing, adequate housing and bedding, counseling and support groups, home visits, and much more.
