From an initial focus on prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), m2m now deploys its proven peer-based model to address broader family health needs, including early childhood development (ECD), adolescent sexual and reproductive health, orphans, and vulnerable children (OVC) programming, management of non-communicable diseases, and, increasingly, more clinical services. As m2m’s first Executive Director and currently its Co-Founder and Chief Connector, Robin has helped guide the organization through this extraordinary growth, from a tiny grassroots start-up to an international organization operating in ten sub-Saharan countries that has reached over 13 million women and children under two, created jobs for over 12,000 women living with HIV as Mentor Mothers, and empowered millions of their peers to achieve positive health outcomes for themselves and their families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8997fd7f5ad4504f06f05/15a5b669-299e-415a-a3b0-35f6cfff4a07/Eliza_Squibb.jpg SPEAKER BIOS (2022) - Eliza Squibb Eliza Squibb uses textile design to bridge the worlds of art and science.
