We provide our volunteers with an accredited 69 day training course on caregiving. These caregivers are assigned to orphans and vulnerable children and their sick or elderly parents, grandparents or guardians. These Home-Based Caregivers focus on family and children’s needs when facing the devastation of HIV/AIDS and poverty.

The caregivers assist with the provision of nutritious meals to the vulnerable children and/or their parents as well as helping them with basic first aid and hygiene services, escorting patients to healthcare facilities and performing household chores when required. They also monitor the children’s school performance as well as refer them to relevant government institutions and support groups and provide feedback to MaAfrika Tikkun on their progress.
