Translation:
Charity begins at grandmother’s house
Comments:
While p1 is figurative and aesthetical, p2 just illustrates the relative direction of the source of charity. The semantic choice of grandmother has positive connotations perhaps because most grandmothers usually set something aside for the grandchildren
