The 20th Anniversary Solidarity Quilt entitled "Nurturing Generations Under the Canopy of Sisterhood" celebrates the Stephen Lewis Foundation and the Grandmothers Campaign. It depicts a grandmother tree, arms outstretched in a demonstration of her competence and leadership, with roots running deep into the heart of her community. Beneath her canopy are seedlings, symbolizing the children she has cared for during the AIDS pandemic and beyond. Representing the remarkable journey grandmothers in Africa have made in the face of adversity, this magnificent handmade quilt was crafted over 4 months by 20 grandmother groups across Canada, with contributions of fabric from over 300 women in Canada and Africa.
