Stephen Lewis Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stephen Lewis Foundation is an organization founded by Stephen Lewis that assists mostly AIDS and HIV-related grassroots projects in Africa. Though on some occasions, the foundation has provided larger projects with money, it mostly gives funds to small, frontline groups and charities.

[edit] Goals

The foundation has four main goals:

  • To provide care at the community level to women who are ill and struggling to survive, so that their lives can be free from pain, humiliation and indignity
  • To assist orphans and other AIDS-affected children in every possible way, from the payment of school fees to the provision of food
  • To support the unrecognized heroes of Africa, the grandmothers, who bury their own children and care for their orphan grandchildren;
  • To support associations of people living with HIV/AIDS - courageous men and women who have openly declared their status.

[edit] Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign

The Grandmothers to Grandmothers is a campaign, launched on March 7, 2006, to raise awareness and support for African grandmothers within Canada. [1]
