Economic Empowerment of caregivers

There was a poor standard of livelihoods among care givers and people living with HIV/AIDS. These people would come and assist in the up keep of herbal garden and general grounds at the clinic for no enumeration. The council come up with an initiative to improve the livelihoods of marginalised group and it was thought prudent to subcontract clinic cleaning services and ground maintenance to a group of caregivers. The contract was awarded to a HIV/AIDS support group/caregivers known as Yemurai. The group is composed of six members thus five females and one male. These members are conducting their cleaning services in five council clinics. This is the practise in that it contributes to Article 27 (HIV and AIDS) of SADC Protocol on Gender and Development
