OMAS SISKONA of KW: MISSION STATEMENT
To build solidarity with grandmothers in Africa by raising awareness in ourselves and others about the lives of grandmothers and children in sub-Saharan Africa, their struggles, hopes, and needs, and also their courage, resilience, expertise, and
leadership. We do this as committed participants in the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign through activities of education and fundraising.
