mothers2mothers

Social Objective:

mothers2mothers promotes the empowerment and education of, and support to, pregnant women and new mothers living with HIV/AIDS, as well as increased access to medical care.

m2m assists women in combating the stigma of HIV/AIDS within their families and communities, supports a mother’s adherence to medical treatment, and reduces the likelihood that her children will become AIDS orphans.

m2m also trains and employs HIV-positive mothers who have already gone through their program. These Mentor Mothers then provide peer education and psychosocial support to HIV-positive pregnant women and new mothers, empowering them to access life-saving treatment for their babies and for themselves. The Mentor Mothers become an integral element of clinical prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) care.

m2m is a multinational NGO located in nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa with 703 sites and counting.

Their unique, community-level model is cost effective, easily replicable, scalable and adaptable to any culture.
