Ntaseka's Clinic has found that 7% of women tested at the clinic are HIV+. Many of these women will have children which currently are being delivered at home with a great possibility of transmitting the HIV status to their newborn babies. With the addition of the maternity ward these women who will have attended the clinic for pre-natal care will be able to deliver in the new maternity ward where they will receive properly medical care so that the do not convey their status to their child.

Counseling is given to HIV+ children and to pregnant HIV+ women. House girls will also be taught to read and write and then be encouraged to organize themselves into self-help groups.
