In South Africa, the orphaned and vulnerable children crisis has become the focus of HBC programmes. These programmes are mostly within semi-urban settlements where the need is greatest. Successful software solution approaches developed to support HBC routing in other countries are difficult to implement in this low-tech, low-resource environment.
