By popular demand, on Thursday 9 December, mothers2mothers (m2m) will host the fourth edition of their annual Carols by Candlelight concert, in the beautiful setting of St Paul's Knightsbridge, in London.

Many of the countries where m2m operares across sub-Saharan Africa have a shared philosophy called Ubuntu, meaning “I am, because we are”. In the spirit of that philosophy, whatever your beliefs and traditions are, mothers2mothers welcomes you to join in on a special evening of singing and readings, as we celebrate our shared connections and stand shoulder to shoulder with the communities we serve this festive season!

This year, which marks the charity’s 20th anniversary, will be inspired by m2m's African roots, and celebrate all that they have achieved over the last two decades. Since m2m was founded in South Africa in 2001, an incredible 12 million women and children under the age of two have been reached with life-saving health services, and over 11,000 jobs have been created by m2m for women living with HIV.

Tickets start at £30, and children (under 12) can attend for free. All profits from ticket sales will go directly to m2m's life-changing work in sub-Saharan Africa. By buying a ticket, you can join us in our mission to build healthy, and thriving communities across the 10 African countries we operate in!

Tickets available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/carols-by-candlelight-2021-tickets-162254767377
