DONATE TO THE GRANDMOTHERS CAMPAIGN


The money we raise will go directly to support the inspiring transformation in sub-Saharan Africa, where community-based organizations are working to turn the tide of AIDS.

With almost no support, grandmothers have stepped forward to care for millions of children orphaned by AIDS, sometimes as many as ten to fifteen in one household. They display astonishing reserves of love, courage and emotional resilience, even while grieving the loss of their own adult children.

THE EXHIBITION IS ON DISPLAY IN VANCOUVER IN FEBRUARY

About Royal City Gogos

Gogo is a Zulu word for grandmother. The Royal City Gogos, based in New Westminster B.C., is part of a national movement of grandmothers and "grand others" that form the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

The Royal City Gogos is a group of almost 50 women ranging in age from 50 - 80 plus. We are united by our concern for African grandmothers and the children in their care and we want to make a difference. We host several fundraising events each year. These events involve everything from growing sunflower seedlings to hosting home parties, textile shows, or a Scrabble game. Royal City Gogos are part of a regional network of 25 groups that make up the Greater Van Gogos. The region stretches from Powell River to Chilliwack. You will find a group in your area!
