Our projects are responsive to the needs of the people we are working with and we have a project management committee that is made up of six of our grannies and grandpas; this ensures continuous dialogue and avoids us getting carried away with ideas that won't work on the ground! Through the work we do, we are not only mentoring and training children in vital life skills but also providing a suppo
rt group for elderly grandparents who are struggling to care for their young grandchildren and often feel isolated due to their circumstances. HIV/AIDS is prevalent in the area and has had a devastating impact on local communities and their ability to provide for the many children left behind. On top of losing their parents, and some being infected themselves, these children have to face the social stigma attached to their situation. Even those who have the benefit of having a granny, grandpa, aunt, uncle, family friend to look after them, it is a struggle. Our website presents detailed information about our work and those we help.
