The AIDS pandemic in Lesotho has left many grandmothers caring for orphaned grandchildren and terminally ill people living in their communities. In Leribe, Lesotho, an industrious group of grandmothers started the Grandmothers` Support Group to provide better organized home-based health care in their communities. To fund improved care, the Grandmothers` Support Group has started a small-scale poultry business. A gift of $30 will provide the grandmothers with 15 baby chicks, chick grain feed, and agricultural supplies. These supplies will help the grandmothers to to expand their business, the profits from which are used entirely for care in the community.
