This book describes a home care programme in 23 low-income townships in Zambia’s Copperbelt. Coordinated by Ndola Catholic Diocese, the programme is said to have achieved high coverage, at reasonable cost, and has successfully integrated tuberculosis (TB) control into home care for people with HIV/AIDS and their families.

This book depicts the day-to-day activities of volunteers, most of whom are women, and explores their motivation and examines how they cope with the problems they face.

According to the publishers, "Under the Mupundu Tree" will be useful to health and development workers not only in sub-Saharan Africa but in many countries where volunteers are a potential asset in community-based efforts to cope with the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS and TB.
