Mission: Our Vision is a world in which babies are not infected with HIV and where mothers with HIV/AIDS live long and healthy lives, caring for their families and having hope for the future. Our Mission is to create an effective, sustainable model of care that provides education and support for pregnant women and new mothers living with HIV/AIDS. Our goals are to: * Prevent babies from contracting HIV through mother-to-child transmission * Keep mothers and babies living with HIV/AIDS alive and healthy by increasing their access to health-sustaining medical care * Empower mothers living with HIV/AIDS, enabling them to fight stigma in their communities and to live positive and productive lives
Results: We currently reach over 180,000 mothers per month and employ over 1500 HIV+ women. Almost 100% of the infants born to mothers in the program are born without the virus. Additionally, our mothers choose exclusive feeding options, access and adhere to their ARV regimens, and access baby care for their children.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Infants born to HIV positive mothers in Africa
