A Tribute

We will not rest until they can rest.

Grandmothers and grandothers in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States have rallied in response to the crisis faced by grandmothers in Africa as they struggled to raise millions of children orphaned by AIDS.

Through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign groups are raising funds in their communities to support the life-enhancing programs run by grandmothers in Africa and the community-led organizations who support them.

The grandmothers movement amplifies the voices and expertise of grandmothers in Africa, and shows the world that leadership by older women is critical in reclaiming hope and rebuilding resilience across communities.
