Campaign Goals
The 'Grandmothers to Grandmothers' campaign aims to:
-
Encourage awareness in Canada about Africa’s grandmothers and their struggle to secure a hopeful and healthy future for generations of children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS;
-
Build solidarity amongst African and Canadian grandmothers in the fight against HIV/AIDS;
- Actively support groups of grandmothers in Africa who are dealing with the painful loss of their own children and struggling to care for children orphaned by AIDS. Funds will provide grandmothers with much needed assistance, for example: food, school fees and school uniforms for their grandchildren, income-generating projects, counselling and social support, and coffins to allow for a dignified burial of their loved ones.
