MOTHERS2MOTHERS (UK) LIMITED 

Our mission is to impact the health of mothers by putting them at the heart of improving reproductive, maternal newborn and child health. Our Mentor Mother Model empowers mothers living with HIV, through education and employment, as role models to help other women access essential services and medical care.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 17 years
