We had the pleasure of meeting Victoria in February when she visited our sites in Cape Town and spent time with some of the amazing Mentor Mothers we employ. “I was so touched by the people I met and how focused and empowered the Mentor Mothers were -- literally, I have never met such strong women in my entire life. The work they are doing is nothing short of absolutely remarkable,” she said.
