New Job Posting at Mothers2Mothers (m2m)

POSITION: Country Finance Manager

Mothers2Mothers (m2m) is an African Primary Health Care organisation that hires HIV-positive women as community health workers in ten African countries. These “Mentor Mothers” provide integrated health services in clinics and communities, ensuring that everyone, everywhere, has access to the services they require to stay healthy and in care.

Over the next five years, this proven, peer-led strategy will be expanded to focus on eradicating HIV while also addressing new health concerns and reaching more people—all to create a fairer, healthier future. The employment of local women as community health workers means that we are delivering a model that prioritizes healthcare for families in most need, given by women who know them best.

Since its inception in 2001, m2m has employed approximately 12,000 HIV-positive women in Sub-Saharan Africa, and they have collectively provided crucial health services and education to over 15 million people. In 2021, m2m reached over 1.6 million people across ten African countries, including 402,616 adolescents (aged 10 to 19), a 51% increase over the previous year. m2m also made progress toward the Global Goals of ending HIV/AIDS by 2030 by virtually eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmission among its enrolled clients for the eighth consecutive year and meeting all the ambitious UNAIDS Fast-Track Targets among its clients four years ahead of the 2026 target date.
