Home-based care: a step by step guide to what we do

Home-based carer Sharon Makhari walks into the yard of one of her clients.

There's lots of work to do when she opens up this door

These blankets are the only mattress she has to lie on all day

Sharon cleans the room, talking to her client about her medicine and checks to see if she needs to go to the clinic

 Sharon is just one of the team of home based carers who together care for 53 sick people in the village who have no family to look after them.
