Afrenaus was founded in 2005 to meet the training and development needs of the model for home-based care developed by its founder, Veronica Khosa. The model for Home-based Care has now been replicated in over 890 projects across the country. The organization that tested this model was Tateni home-based services. This model was recently rated among the top six most successful interventions by the World Health Organization.
Tateni was handed over to the community for management and control after it had achieved the WHO standing. This model is accepted by the South African National Department of Health as the most successful tertiary intervention in the country.
