WHAT WILL YOUR MONEY DO?
Your money will provide support for grandmothers and widows in Africa, enabling them to develop income-generating activities (mostly home-based businesses) to earn money to support themselves and provide the basic necessities for the many orphaned children in their care. A small amount of money can help them to do great things.
