​Who we are

What we do
Victoria Grandmothers for Africa is one of over 250 Canadian groups working to raise funds and awareness for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. This Campaign supports the work of African grandmothers caring for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

Since Victoria Grandmothers for Africa is a large group, we encourage members to join a working group that interests them.   These smaller groups enable members to get to know one another and make friends while engaging in the important work of the Grandmothers Campaign.

Women demand their rights, become leaders
Picture
“In the past, if a woman wanted to speak at a village meeting, she would have to kneel. With home-based care education and MWEDO’s empowerment programmes, this expectation shifted. In the past, village assemblies were attended only by men, but now, women are included on the agenda and participate in meetings. Women are increasingly being invited and participating in forums as equals. This growing visibility and confidence, along with access to income through MWEDO’s income-generation groups, is encouraging women to take up other rights, such as owning land.”
