Elim Care group Project was esatblished in 1976 as a community intervention project during the outbreak of trachoma. The response to the Trachoma programme resulted in an increase in the number of care groups and its members in almost every village in Vhembe district. Today the Care group specifically the Integrated Management of Child Illnesses, focus on improving the lives of under-5's. This is done through a network of community volunteers who conduct homevisits and educate families, refer difficult cases and follow-up.
