This manual provides guidance on using the Care Group model. A Care Group is a group of 10-15 volunteer, community-based educators who regularly meet together with project staff for training and supervision. They are different from typical mother’s groups in that each volunteer is responsible for regularly visiting 10-15 of her neighbors, sharing what she has learned and facilitating behavior change at the household level.  Care Groups create a multiplying effect to equitably reach every beneficiary household with interpersonal behavior change communication.
