Job Description

Company Overview:

mothers2mothers (m2m) is an African Primary Health Care organization that employs women living with HIV as community health workers across 10 African nations. These “Mentor Mothers” deliver integrated health services at clinics and in communities to ensure everyone, everywhere, has access to the services they need to be healthy and stay in care. Over the next five years, this proven, peer-led model is being scaled to double down on ending HIV, as well as to tackle new health challenges and reach more people — all with the aim of building a fairer, healthier future.

Since its creation in 2001, m2m has created jobs for nearly 12,000 women living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, reaching over 15 million people with critical health services and education. In 2021 alone, m2m reached over 1.6 million people across 10 African nations, including 402,616 adolescents (ages 10–19) — 51% more than the year before. The organization has achieved virtual elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV among enrolled clients for eight consecutive years, meeting all UNAIDS Fast-Track Targets four years ahead of the 2026 goal.
