3 Ways You Can Support mothers2mothers

12th June 2024

We would love to work together to discover how best we can partner to make a difference, but first let us introduce ourselves…

Meet mothers2mothers (m2m):

m2m is a proudly African, women-centred primary healthcare organisation. We work in under-resourced health settings in sub-Saharan Africa to ensure the people who need it most get the care they need from someone they trust.

We train and employ local African women living with HIV as community health workers, who work at health facilities and door-to-door in their communities delivering health services, education, and support so that everyone everywhere has the opportunity to be healthy.

Our approach is centred on the power of one mother sharing her story with another mother, her peer, connecting through their lived experience and shared understanding.

It works because it’s local and peer-led. At its simplest, it’s two women connecting over their shared health journey. One woman is just further along in that journey than the other, and shares her experience to bring inspiration, encouragement, and hope.

That’s why we call the women we employ Mentor Mothers.

Since 2001, we have employed over 12,000 Mentor Mothers who, together, have reached over 16 million women and families and helped to keep alive nearly 3 million at-risk mothers and infants. To find out more about our impact, please click here.

That’s the power of mother in action.

We appreciate any support that is possible to help build a healthy, thriving Africa. For some more guidelines on where your donations go –

£1,500 could allow us to hold 30 support groups to reach 300 pregnant women living with HIV—an essential tool to help keep these mothers-to-be healthy, and their unborn children HIV-free.

£4,000 could purchase 400 insecticide-treated bed nets that we distribute to protect those most at risk from malaria… including people living with HIV and children. Malaria is the leading cause of death in under-5’s in Africa.

£6,500 could support eight TB-focused m2m community health workers for three months, delivering life saving TB education, medication and screening to thousands of people. Whilst TB can affect anyone, it is the leading cause of death for people living with HIV.

£10,000 could help us deliver critical, integrated and life-saving health services to 8,000 young people in East Africa in their homes and communities.

Donate today and help place African women and their communities at the heart of the solution.

You can partner with us by making a company donation or by pledging to raise funds through product sales or employee giving, all year round, or on important activation moment for your brand.

You can also join a group of like-minded brands and businesses to collectively invest in the work of m2m as The Mothers’ Collective.

There are also opportunities to sponsor our events, including our flagship annual event, The Mothers’ Ball, or co-create a bespoke fundraising event.
