OMAS SISKONA* of KW is one of 240+ grandmothers groups in Canada and around the world partnering with their African sisters to "turn the tide" of the AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since our launch in 2008, OMAS has raised $826,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation which in turn partners with community-based organizations to provide care and support to women, orphaned children, grandmothers and people living with HIV and AIDS.
|
With about 120 members and many "friends", OMAS meet monthly to plan fundraising events, educate ourselves through invited speakers and DVD presentations, make presentations ourselves on SLF projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, speak to local community and church groups, and advocate for our African sisters. But mostly we enjoy a wonderful solidarity with each other and with our African sisters by working together and having FUN!!!
