Their Story
mothers2mothers (m2m) was born in 2001 at a time of crisis. The number of new HIV infections in South Africa was at its peak, and a potent cocktail of stigma, fear, and lack of information meant that most HIV-positive pregnant women could not access the treatment required to stay healthy and prevent their unborn children from contracting HIV.
Their Mission and Vision
mothers2mothers (m2m) is an African NGO that employs women living with HIV as community health workers. These “Mentor Mothers” deliver health services at clinics and in communities across 10 African nations. Since 2001, they have reached nearly 15 million people with health services, created almost 12,000 jobs for women living with HIV, and helped to prevent over 4.3 million HIV infections. Now, they are evolving to become a primary health care organization, using their proven, peer-led model to double down on ending HIV, as well as to tackle new health challenges and reach more people — all with the aim of building a fairer, healthier future.
