“She has this incredible ability to put people at ease. She showed so much respect and empathy to the women here.” Scobie reports from Duchess Meghan's visit to m2mtweets.
in Cape Town, South Africa, Duchess Meghan paused and looked at the floor covered in toys. Then she looked at the young children and babies sitting on the laps around her. “We should all sit down here,” she said, gesturing to the ground. “If it were Archie and we had all these toys in the middle, but I made him sit in the chair, it would be so unfair!”
The candid moment was an immediate ice-breaker, offering a welcoming space for the mothers, all of whom have received support from the charity after being diagnosed with HIV. Single mom Limpho Nteko, 29, tells, “The way she made us all feel so comfortable, so quickly—she just wanted to connect, listen, and share. It was so good.”Getty Images
Ten years later, Nteko is now a mother of two and has become an integral part of mothers2mothers after receiving support as a teenager. She now works as a “Mother Mentor” and regional manager in Lesotho, where she supervises and supports other mentors—84 women and counting. “I was able to share my story with the duchess, from where I started to where I am now,” Nteko says. “My plate is full with the work I am doing here but when you’re fully empowered, it doesn’t feel like a chore.
