Description
"Gogo" means grandmother in Chichewa, one the local languages in the villages of Malawi, Africa. The HIV/AIDS pandemic has left over one million orphans in Malawi--one of the poorest countries in the world. Forty-two percent of the children under 5 years are malnourished. I am one of many who supports the Gogo Grandmothers Ministry who links the elderly with the young orphans, thus, connecting the most needy in the village. Each Gogo takes in at least 2-3 orphaned children to feed, clothe, educate and love with the help of the Gogo Grandmothers Ministry. Funds raised provide them with maize seed, fertilizer, mosquito nets, blankets, preschools/feeding programs for the younger children and school supplies for the older orphans. The Gogos meet monthly where they pray/read scripture together, are encouraged spiritually and learn about nutrition, hygiene and child development. Any sale here will go 100% to the Gogos, a very special group of women.
