Donate for good

Nature Conservation, Education and Traditional activism – you name it; as part of the Donate for good journey, EasyVSTRs are extending their hand to Mothers2Mothers, an organization empowering communities in the Sub-Saharan African region and beyond. ✊😎

Who is Mothers2Mothers
Mothers2Mothers or M2M is an organization aimed at ending Aids while focusing on creating a bright future for women across Sub-Saharan Africa. The organization operates from at least 500 sites with 20 offices. With more than 2 000 members, the organization is spread across ten countries. 🌍

Citing from the organization's website, "m2m started at one site in Cape Town, South Africa, and over the first several years, its programme expanded in South Africa. Then with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Johnson & Johnson, and other funders, m2m grew its programme across sub-Saharan Africa.

"Fast-forward 20 years and m2m now operates at hundreds of health centres and communities in ten African nations, and has reached over 11 million pregnant women, new mothers, and children."

Beyond contributing to the fight against HIV/AIDs and equal access to healthcare, the organization is also advancing gender equality.
