Currently, the Tidzuke Women Group has 60 active volunteers who are counseling and providing home-based care to people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, they grow nutritional foods for all community members on government-provided land. Over 60 chronically ill patients, one third of whom are infected with HIV/AIDS, receive these services. The volunteers also support local orphans with schoolbooks, uniforms, educational seminars and vocational skills such as tailoring and carpentry.

In the past year, the group expanded it services by creating a dairy center and four new nursery schools. The distribution of young milk calves permitted ten of the groups to become monetarily self-reliant through the sale of milk and also provided the chronically-ill with much needed nutrition. The new nursery schools support the children of the community, advance educational efforts for the orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and are self-funded through small tuition payments.

The Tidzuke Women Group is now focused on capacity building and advocacy activities, specifically, financial and management training for religious and traditional leaders and care- givers. The group has high aspirations for the future, including an expansion of their dairy program and the initiation of a revolving loan program for people living with HIV/AIDS. The capacity building activities have strengthened their ability to achieve these new organizational goals.
