Grandmother Project (GMP) builds on the knowledge and experience of grandmothers and elders

In all non-western societies elders are respected for their experience and they support younger generations. Grandmothers play a special role teaching and caring for children and women. GMP views grandmothers as a cultural resource and involves them as key actors in all development programs.

Grandmother Project strengthens dialogue and relationships between generations.

In most cultures there is a growing gap between the generations that affects family and community well-being. In all community programs GMP promotes dialogue between generations in order to strengthen intergenerational relationships and understanding.

Grandmother Project empowers community leaders and groups through use of participatory methods of communication and education

In order for communities to effectively solve problems and promote the well-being of women and children, they need committed and skilled leaders. GMP uses participatory adult education methods to strengthen capacity of community leaders and groups to take collective action to solve priority problems.
