CCWs are local villagers who are trained by Woza Moya.
They are supplied with shoes, uniforms, basic medical supplies and taxi fares, and receive a stipend which enables them to visit approximately 30 families each - in total some 1 140 families - a month. They are monitored to ensure services are professional and standards maintained. Jane Nxasane, Home-based Care Programme Coordinator, supports the care workers and is responsible for distributing supplies such as condoms, rubber gloves, nappies and home-based care kits donated by the local Department of Health. Jane collates all the CCWs monthly Home Visit Sheets and submits Woza Moya's home-based care statistics to the local clinic. Jane also completes a very comprehensive monthly statistics form for the Hospice Palliative Care Association of South Africa. Three data capturers capture the data from the Home Visit Sheets into the database. From that information accurate reports can be drawn. This is useful for reporting to donors as well as for managing the programme.
