While tremendous progress has been made over the last decade to
eliminate paediatric AIDS, more than 400 babies are still infected with
HIV globally each day. About 75% of these children live in sub-Saharan
Africa, and most acquire HIV from their mothers during pregnancy,
childbirth, and breastfeeding.
We train, employ, and empower local mothers living with HIV, called
Mentor Mothers, as frontline healthcare workers in understaffed health
centres and within communities. In one-on-one and group sessions, Mentor
Mothers provide essential health education and support to women on how
they can protect their babies from HIV infection, and keep themselves
and their families healthy. Mentor Mothers’ intimate understanding of
the social and cultural challenges of living with HIV gives them a
unique ability to form trusted relationships with other women, vital to
helping them overcome their fears and make lifesaving decisions.
