WHO WE ARE
Victoria Grandmothers for Africa The Victoria Grandmothers for Africa (VG4A) is currently a group of over 150 women who are part of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). The campaign’s purpose is to increase awareness, build solidarity, and raise funds for 98 community-led organizations (CLOs) in 14 countries in Africa. These CLOs support grandmothers in Africa and their communities and amplify their voices and expertise as they work to build a healthy future for children who lost their parents to AIDS-related illnesses. Our values We strive to reflect our values in all our endeavours: collaboration, inclusiveness, cooperation, transparency, democratic process, and acceptance of new ideas.

The Centre for Widows and Children Assistance (CWCA) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, is a community-led organization focused on combating gender-based violence and the outcomes for women of the HIV epidemic. They provide wrap-around support to empower women, children and widows by building skills and confidence, sharing information and guiding access to legal or health systems. Stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination that are rooted in harmful cultural practices and social norms, and a lack of awareness of legal protections, are exacerbated by a predominantly patriarchal system. CWCA provides legal aid and education, funding and entrepreneurship support, education supports, information, counselling, ongoing research, advocacy and community outreach.
