When Women Lead, Communities Get What They Need

For 20 years, mothers2mothers (m2m) has shown that African women serving as frontline health workers unlock life-changing results…for their communities and themselves.

Driving Progress to End the HIV/AIDS Epidemic by 2030 

As well as services to end new infections in children, m2m also provides “primary prevention” services to stop new HIV infections in adults. These services are a cornerstone in the fight to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030, and a key focus of our integrated service delivery.


Delivering Health for All  

 

Our aim is to ensure everyone, everywhere, can access the health services they need, leaving no one behind.

We take our services to where our clients need them. When we first started, we delivered services only in health facilities, but since 2014, we’ve been working door-to-door in communities too, bringing services to where they are most needed.

Currently, adolescent girls and young women are among the most vulnerable to HIV infection and can struggle to access the health services they need. Since 2016, we have been reaching this new generation through tailored, youth-friendly services, delivered by Peer Mentors in adolescent-friendly spaces.

a remarkable team of female frontline health workers, over the past 20 years, m2m has taken strides towards achieving the Global Goal of Health For All by 2030. 

With a continued focus on the health needs of the clients we serve, our future will include helping deliver an end to the AIDS epidemic, while simultaneously creating a healthier, more equitable future for all.
