Senior Programme Assistant at Mothers2mothers (m2m)

Mothers2mothers (m2m) is an African primary health care organisation that employs women living with HIV as community health workers across 11 African countries. 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. m2m’s proven, peer-led model is focused on ending HIV, as well as tackling related health challenges that disproportionately impact people living with HIV—such as tuberculosis, cervical cancer, diabetes, and malaria—all with the aim of building a fairer, healthier future. The employment of local women as community health workers means that we are delivering a model that prioritises health care for families who need it most, delivered by women who know them best. To amplify our impact, we also work closely with governments, multilateral, and implementing partners to shape policies and strengthen health systems based on our 20+ years of experience.
