This is a community volunteerism activity, to provide care and support to People Living With HIV/AIDS, and to orphans and Vulnerable Children. After  free ART became universally accessible , the number of bedridden patients to be given home care has declined, because of which, the Home based care providers are now doing activities related to drug adherence, psychosocial support to People living with HIV/AIDS, and to orphans and Vulnerable children, and do facilitate referral of TB suspected cases to Health facilities.
