The Home Based Care Alliance is a movement of caregivers who advocate for a greater share of community/ national/ international resources.  These women are volunteering their time, energy and resources, making up for overburdened public health systems throughout Africa caring for orphans and those with HIV/AIDS. They surface their priorities at policy tables, engage in peer-learning to build their capacity as caregivers, and engage in sustainable, collective enterprise to secure their livelihoods and strengthen the response to AIDS. The Home-Based Care Alliance is an organizing initiative of GROOTS International, and supported by the Huairou Commission particularly to link to partners and advocacy opportunities.
