We are a group of Red Deer and area grandmothers and "grandothers" that reach out to African grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren orphaned by AIDS. When the HIV epidemic swept across the continent of Africa millions of children were left alone and vulnerable. In the midst of this tragedy African grandmothers stepped into the breech, burying their own children and raising their grandchildren with little assistance. GrammaLink-Africa members seek to support these brave African women by creating awareness of their struggle and sharing our resources through fundraising for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. African grandmothers have moved from securing their basic needs to taking on leadership roles in their communities.
