Victoria Grandmothers for Africa is a group working together to raise funds and awareness for the Stephen Lewis Foundation and its Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. This campaign supports African grandmothers who care for their AIDS-orphaned grandchildren.
In 2013, Victoria Grandmothers for Africa raised $102,194.00 for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign and the Stephen Lewis Foundation. And since the group's inception in 2006, we have raised over $725,000.00.
Our work is accomplished through a variety of committees of interest. Members join a committee and engage in its work, meeting new people, learning new things and making friends.
For more information about our group, please feel free to contact us.
Our next exciting fundraiser is the:
8th Annual VG4A Cycle Tour: September 5-7, 2014
30 strong and enthusiastic women/grandmothers 55 years and older will be cycling 275 kms from Campbell River to Victoria, B.C.. Their common goal - to raise funds for the Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. These grassroot projects support the sub-Saharan grandmothers raising their grandchildren who have been orphaned by AIDS. Clinics, hospices, daycares and education are just a few of the benefits of these projects.
In 2013, the cycle tour raised $85,000. Since the first ride in 2007, over $325,000 has been raised by these energetic B.C. grandmothers.
