The impact of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa has put strain on almost every social safety net, making the role of Grandmothers more important than ever before. With the middle generation battling disease, poverty and unemployment, Grandmothers often take on the role of providing end-of-life care to their dying children while caring for their orphaned grandchildren. The G.R.O. Foundation has been inspired by the love, dedication and resilience that these Grandmothers demonstrate under such extreme conditions. We support the Grandmothers Support Group in Leribe through the donation of medical supplies and project funding, acting as an advocate in pursuing long term support grants.
