Last month, a mothers2mothers (m2m) delegation, spearheaded by Bupe Sinkala, an m2m community health worker from Zambia, and Frank Beadle de Palomo, m2m’s President and CEO attended the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Week. UNGA is always a busy and important time—as the global development community gathers in New York City, there are urgent topics to discuss, important conversations to have, and timely connections to make or deepen. m2m was able to drive and contribute to discussions; here are our key takeaways from the week: https://lnkd.in/gj8hzGBK

October is #BreastCancerAwareness Month, and we’re proud to highlight the incredible work mothers2mothers Mentor Mothers are doing to tackle women’s cancers in Malawi, such as breast and cervical cancer. Many Malawian women face barriers to cancer awareness, early detection, and access to healthcare, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. With support from Sondra Smalley, mothers2mothers has employed six Mentor Mothers and a Nurse to provide essential services designed to reduce preventable deaths from breast and cervical cancers.

“There’s no such thing as hard-to-reach people. There are only hard-to-get services.” – Mpolokeng Mohloai, Country Director, mothers2mothers Lesotho. Yesterday on International Day of #RuralWomen, mothers2mothers shined a light on challenges that women and families in rural communities across sub-Saharan African face in accessing essential health care—often due to long distances to health centers, challenging terrain, poverty, or traditional beliefs. In fact, equity between urban and rural areas was called out as a key gap in a recent UNAIDS report on equity. We are failing rural communities, because they are difficult and expensive to reach…but they have the same human right to health as everyone else.      At mothers2mothers, we are working to make “hard to reach services” a thing of the past by responding to the needs of communities and bringing health services, education, and support directly to people - no matter where they are. Join us and #putpeoplefirst so that everyone, everywhere gets the care they need and deserve.
