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.
For more information, please contact the coordinator
