Ending HIV is Just the Start
mothers2mothers (m2m) is building a healthy, thriving Africa. We employ women to guide other women and their families on the journey to good health.
Our Impact
Since m2m began in 2001, we have…
Created over
11,000
jobs for women living with HIV as frontline health workers.
Reached more than
12 Million
women and children under two in sub-Saharan Africa with life-changing health services.
Achieved
virtual elimination
of mother-to-child transmission of HIV among our enrolled clients for the past six years.
Our Approach
Through our Mentor Mother Model, m2m employs local women living with HIV as Frontline Health Workers. These “Mentor Mothers” dramatically improve the health and wellbeing of:
WOMEN AGED 15-49
Mentor Mothers educate and support women and their families to access healthcare, start the treatment they need, and stay in care.
CHILDREN AGED 0-9
m2m is committed to ensuring that every child thrives, not just survives, through services to protect and improve the health and development of infants and children.
ADOLESCENTS AGED 10-24
m2m works to create health and wellbeing for adolescent girls and boys, and young adults, with a focus on reducing HIV infections and related illnesses, as well as youth-friendly services for those living with HIV.

Wilbroda’s Story
“Finding out I was HIV-positive while pregnant felt like a death sentence for me and my unborn child. My family isolated me. Being a single mother, jobless, and dependent on people broke my self-esteem.
Fortunately, a mothers2mothers (m2m) Mentor Mother explained that I could still be healthy, and thanks to her support, my boy was born HIV-free. I decided to join m2m as a Mentor Mother.
Becoming a Mentor Mother changed everything. I used my knowledge to educate my family about HIV, who treated me like a human again. I now help women make informed decisions to keep them and their families healthy, and make them feel understood and appreciated – I know how important that is.”

This #MondayMotivation is from @jasoncollins98 on the power of openness! m2m Mentor Mothers live openly w/ #HIV - this openness is breaking down barriers of stigma that bar women from accessing care & reaching their full potential.
