Community Care

Our BEZA volunteers conduct patient home visits. The visits include food collection and distribution, assistance with household chores, and offering company and conversation. Every 4-6 weeks, the members are visited. Some of the members are extremely sick and bed-ridden, and some need daily care. The visits are done by the volunteers and are supported through the provision of a basic volunteer stipend to cover transportation costs and mobile phone credit.

​

BEZA also offers housing support. The BEZA Manager negotiates with churches and local government to ensure basic accommodation for the members that are sick and bed ridden. 

​

BEZA runs a Loss to Follow Up Program (LTFU) program for members in the community that have stopped taking their HIV medication. BEZA encourages and supports members to re-initiate taking their medication at the Lalibela Hospital following adherence counselling and an individual support session.
