Nyaka Grannies (Mukaaka) Project

Nyaka grannies project will help them through:
1. Group support on village, sub-county, county, and district level to create a common voice support system.
2. Help them start up income generating projects to improve their household incomes.
3. Support each other with skills in childcare through regular group meetings where they share different experiences and learn from the facilitators.
4. Encouraging Nyaka nurse to visit their homes and teach hygiene and sanitation and also help them better nutrition for themselves and the children by introducing to them high yield and resistant variety seeds, modern methods and practices of agriculture. (This is supported by Seed and Light Inc)

Start a Grandmothers for Grandmothers Project in your community!
* The grandmothers in Uganda are the true heroes of the AIDS crisis. Without their support, our project would never have gotten off the ground. Their courage, strength, and heroism are indeed an inspiration for the rest of us. Why not start a project in your own community to honor these women in Uganda?

To get started, contact Chris Singer, Project Assistant for Nyaka AIDS Orphans School at chrissinger@nyakaschool.org for your Grandmothers for Grandmothers Project toolkit.
