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.

Young, Happy, Healthy and Safe (YHHS) is a community-led organization working to strengthen and protect girls and women in the rural Eastern Province of Zambia. The SLF and YHHS have worked together since 2008. Since then, they have helped fund: education, psychosocial support, income-generating activities for caregivers, information on sexual health and rights, community sensitization on violence against women and girls, peer education, and support for HIV+ youth. The area where YHHS works is impacted by the Great East Road – the only highway connecting the Eastern Province to the rest of the country, and also the main road connecting to Malawi and northern Mozambique. It is a huge and busy thoroughfare, which brings transient populations, sex work, HIV and addiction to small, rural communities along its path.
