ABOUT MOTHERS2MOTHERS
mothers2mothers (m2m) is an Africa-based non-profit organization leading global efforts to eliminate pediatric AIDS and create healthy families and communities. At the heart of its efforts are HIV-positive mothers from local communities who intimately understand the social and cultural challenges of living with HIV. By sharing their own experiences, these “Mentor Mothers” have a unique ability to form trusted relationships and common bonds with pregnant women and new mothers to help them access medical care early in their pregnancies and stay on treatment for the best possible health outcomes for themselves and their families. Formerly marginalized by their HIV status, Mentor Mothers are professionalized, employed, and economically independent, fighting stigma and discrimination through example and becoming role models and leaders in their communities. The peer-based approach has proven to achieve better health outcomes and reduce mother-to-child transmission rates, while also creating significant savings through averted HIV treatment costs. Since its founding in 2001 at one Cape Town health center, m2m has reached more than 1.3 million HIV-positive women in nine African countries. Learn more at m2m.org or follow on @m2mtweets.
