Home-Based Care

Home-based care is one way that we emphasize solidarity and community alongside persons living with HIV/AIDS. TAPP Uganda staff utilizes bicycles and public transportation to travel from home to home spending time with our community members. These may or may not be bead makers, and may or may not identify with the same faith tradition. While we sit with each other and trade stories, there are truly transformational moments that change everyone involved. This is the time to enter into someone’s space and here the joys and struggles while we cry out in need of each other and God. Sometimes we dance, sometimes we sing, and always we pray.

Our staff is equipped with a Home-based care bag where they can store food, cleaning supplies, and a simple medical kit to be of any particular use they can during their visits. Home visits have become a deepening experience for our visitors from the U.S., Canada, and Germany to become personally confronted with the AIDS pandemic and more importantly with transformational relationships.
