Depending on the knowledge and experience of the volunteer, the volunteer will do consultations, prescribe, treat and help to look after the patients. The services provided by the clinic are: minor medical and surgical treatment, pregnancy testing, antenatal care, and deliveries, post natal, child welfare and family planning. Because of the weak staffing of the clinic/health post, a volunteer with a more advanced medical knowledge will fast occupy a prominent position in the clinic.

Volunteers will explain and raise the awareness about HIV/AIDS. This includes explaining how one acquires HIV/AIDS, the use of condoms, the essence of voluntary counseling and testing and to attend programs on life-planning skills. Volunteers will talk to traditional chiefs (who play an important role), go from house to house and talk to larger groups, such as schools and institutions.
