Our Vision, Our Mission

Our Vision is a world in which babies are not infected with HIV and where mothers with HIV/AIDS live long and healthy lives, caring for their families and having hope for the future.

Our Mission is to create an effective, sustainable model of care that provides education and support for pregnant women and new mothers living with HIV/AIDS:

to prevent babies from contracting HIV through mother-to-child transmission
to keep mothers and babies living with HIV/AIDS alive and healthy by increasing their ability to access health-sustaining medical care
to empower mothers to battle the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS in their families and their communities

"I never thought that I would see my child (who tested negative after nine months) growing up. Soon she will be a teenager and what a blessing! I call her my sunshine beam."

Site Coordinator and mother

At least 12 million children in sub-Saharan Africa have lost their parents or caregivers to AIDS-related illnesses. mothers2mothers provides the knowledge, support and hope required for preserving a mother's health so she can live to raise her child.

More than 95% of the mothers in our program are tested for HIV vs. a national average of 20%. Nearly all of them give birth to HIV-negative children.
