We raise funds and awareness for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. We're proud to have raised over $2 million since 2006.
Through the Grandmothers Campaign, we partner with community-led organizations in Africa where grandmothers care for grandchildren whose parents died as a result of the HIV and AIDS pandemic.
Twenty years since Nyaka was founded, 16-year-old Angella is a graduate of its Kutamba Primary School, emerging as the epitome of resilience and dedication. Angella joined the school in 2015 as a determined young student. Although she faced challenges, including the long walk to and from school every day and the disruptions of COVID-19 lockdowns, she was not discouraged and remained resolute to pursue her education. When the results of Uganda’s national Primary Leaving Examinations were recently released, Angella stood out as the top student at Kutamba Primary School. She excelled in all subjects and earned an A+ in her favourite subject: mathematics.
