TIAA recognises Robin’s instrumental role in co-founding m2m and helping to expand its Mentor Mother model from one site in Cape Town, South Africa, to eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Robin says she is inspired every day by the HIV-positive mothers employed and trained by m2m as Mentor Mothers, who help to empower other women in their communities to make healthy decisions for their care and that of their families when doctors may not have the time or language to do so. “The face of every beautiful child I see in their villages and townships makes me marvel at the possibilities of their future and the terrible loss we would all have if their light was extinguished,” Robin said.
