I am delighted to congratulate Frank Beadle de Palomo, President & CEO of mothers2mothers, and Emma France, Chief Growth Officer of m2m as the organisation officially launches its Nigeria Programme in Abuja, a milestone event as m2m expands on its mission to create healthy families in Africa, and bring opportunity for all.

The launch is a unique opportunity for multi-sector stakeholders to learn more about m2m’s transformative work in Nigeria, meet the team, and connect with leaders in the global health community as m2m shares its insights on innovative approaches to community-based healthcare towards its planned contributions on improving maternal and child health in FCT Abuja communities.

I commend mothers2mothers, for recognising the importance of addressing the needs of special populations, including male partners, internally displaced persons, and key populations at higher risk. This inclusive approach reflects our shared belief that health equity is not only a goal, but a right for all individuals, regardless of circumstance.

In my Goodwill Statement, delivered by Mr Kelvin Agagbe, Programs Lead – The Wellbeing Foundation Africa, Abuja, I assured mothers2mothers that the Wellbeing Foundation Africa is proud to support and celebrate mothers2mothers’ expansion in Nigeria, as a shared value programmatic proposition that aligns with the WBFA’s Mamacare360 Community Midwifery Maternity Education Care and Counsel Continuum, reinforcing our Positive Lifeline PMTCT Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission goals as we empower women as change agents, build resilient families, and foster healthier communities across this great nation.
