| Our Structure and Staff |
|
At the heart of mothers2mothers is our local program staff in satellite offices throughout South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia, Kenya, Rwanda, Malawi and Swaziland. m2m employs experienced health care professionals as Program Managers to oversee program sites based in individual health care facilities. Each of these sites is headed by a full-time Site Coordinator, usually a mother who has come through the program herself and who has since been trained by m2m to provide PMTCT care and support. These women are our line managers, responsible for supervising the delivery of care provided by Mentor Mothers, who are our ground troops and our first line of care. The programs are based on the concept that peer support is the optimal model for effective education and social empowerment. The best vehicle for this support are the mothers themselves. Thus, our staff is made up of women from local communities who are either infected with or affected by HIV. This team of approximately 700 women forms the foundation and spirit of m2m. m2m currently operates in:
All m2m activity is overseen by our head office in Cape Town, which houses management and key support staff, as well as the regional staff for the Western Cape. Click here to view Key Staff Biographies |
