CMMB Healthcare: Choose to Care

What We Do > Healthcare Programs > Choose to Care

CMMB

Beginning in 2000, CMMB supported over 100 projects in five countries across southern Africa aimed at developing community-based solutions and best practices for palliative care, orphan care and support, and HIV education. The innovative Choose to Care program at these sites provided hospice care for the dying, as well as housing, food and education for children who have lost parents. Over the six years of the program, CMMB supported Choose to Care projects in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho in collaboration with the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation.
