This is a map on the wall in the Chiawelo Community Practice’s Seminar Room. We have been able to demarcate each CHWs streets. We have grouped three CHWs in an area – this will be the focus of much of the activity in the community e.g. daily walking club and weekly health meeting. The workload does add up to quite a bit. There are 2703 Lots in this area with 6457 families identified. This means 2.4 families per lot. CHWs have registered only 2340 families and identified 10046 people. This means 4.5 persons per family. At this rate we may have well over 20 000 people in half the ward. The board is a large 1.6m x 1.6m but the lots are about 1cm on it – impossible to pin up all the problems in such small space for 2-3 families. We will have to prioritise problems and use it to visualise temporarily….
