African grandmothers still need funding to keep themselves and their grandchildren healthy, safe and thriving while they face two pandemics – HIV & AIDS and COVID-19. Gogos crafters are busy creating signature gogo totes, a variety of kitchen projects, pet items, ribbon jewelry and much more. They’ll also have sanitized used books for sale. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place and they ask that all visitors wear masks and respect physical distances.

Proceeds from this sale will go to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, Stephen Lewis Foundation, which distributes 90% of all donations to community level organizations in 15 African countries that support grandmothers raising children orphaned by AIDS. The SLF is an Imagine Canada approved charity. More information is available at www.stephenlewisfoundation.org.
