Grannies fixing the world

In many communities grandmothers have a great influence on their families and communities.

In Senegal we visit a project using grandmothers to give vital health information to adolescent girls and is also empowering them to influence men to stop practices like female genital mutilation.

We also tell the story of the Granny Cloud, a team of volunteer grandmothers from all over the world, who used the internet to reach out to some of the world\u2019s poorest children.
