MILESTONE: Rosehaven Homes 20th Anniversary

Great things come from small beginnings, just ask Marco Guglietti, President of Rosehaven Homes. Launched in 1992 after Giovanni Guglietti purchasd 20 lots in Waterdown for his sons Marco and Silvio, the company has grown to be more than just a builder of homes, but a builder of communities as well.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) was created in 2003 and is mandated to help community-based organizations fight AIDS in Africa. Having funded more than 1,100 initiatives, the foundation is partnered with 300-plus community-based organizations in the 15 countries that have been hardest hit by the AIDS pandemic in Africa. It is Canadian grassroots organizations such as Grandmothers to Grandmothers that collaborate with SLF to make miracles happen.
