Love is a weapon of mass construction.

Grandma Henrietta
Mamie Henriette Nzuji Ntumba founded the Immigrant Grannies organization in 2002.
​
Henriette was a model, of a woman, of an immigrant woman.
​
Always positive, always upright, always oriented towards the future.
Mamies Immigrantes
La vie continue!
Mamie Henriette had already in her native country Congo embraced the cause of the poorest, marginalized women and the widows... When she arrived here in Quebec, she quickly saw how vulnerable older immigrant women were and she devoted the rest of her life to it.
As in Africa, we recreate a world around grannies who find a sense of belonging and usefulness this way. After all, our aging is our talent!
