Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign

Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign The international grandmothers solidarity movement amplifies African grandmothers’ voices Get engaged! Or take action today!

When the AIDS pandemic swept across the continent of Africa, it took the lives of nearly an entire generation – 35 million perished – which left their children alone and vulnerable. With little or no support, it was the grandmothers of Africa who stepped in to care for these children. The Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign in 2006, in response to the emerging crisis faced by African grandmothers as they struggled to raise millions of children whose parents died from AIDS-related illnesses. Grandmothers and grandothers in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States have rallied in response, creating a dynamic movement. They raise funds in their communities to support the life-enhancing programs run by African grandmothers and the community-based organizations who support them. The grandmothers movement amplifies the voices and expertise of African grandmothers, and shows the world that leadership by older women is critical in reclaiming hope and rebuilding resilience across communities. Everyone can be part of the growing, international grandmothers movement.

Join us for this special online event as we celebrate 20 years of the SLF's Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign!

Twenty years ago, African and Canadian grandmothers came together to spark a global movement rooted in solidarity, care and community.

Now, in lead up to the 26th International AIDS Conference, we're hosting a powerful panel of speakers, featuring grandmother leaders from Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Canada.

They will reflect on the leadership of African grandmothers, international grandmothers’ solidarity, centring the priorities of older women, and shaping the future of the global HIV response.
