Across Africa, grandmothers are the quiet backbone of family care, stepping in to raise children when parents are unable to do so. Yet despite their essential role, they remain largely overlooked in policy, programming and investment.
Join Nyaka, a Ugandan community-led organisation with 25 years of experience strengthening families through education, healthcare, child protection and economic empowerment, and a proud member of Transform Alliance Africa, for an engaging webinar exploring the transformative role of grandmothers in caring for children without parental care.
Drawing on Nyaka's evidence, practical experience and community-led model, this session will examine how investing in grandmothers strengthens families, protects children, promotes resilience and contributes to sustainable care reform. Participants will gain practical insights and lessons that can inform policy, programming and family-based care initiatives across Africa and beyond.
