The Mmata Tswana model is a community caregiver support group model which offers an opportunity for caregivers to:

Meet, discuss and learn from one another about ART adherence and caring for adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV);
Provide psychosocial support to one another;
Offer general care-giving support to one another by, for example accompanying each other’s children for scheduled appointments, as well as assisting them with treatment as necessary; and
Create a community of knowledge about adolescents’ treatment and health needs to minimise the risks associated with loss to follow-up when a caregiver is unable to take care of an adolescent.
