dc.description.abstract Home-based care (HBC) is an effective service model to reduce the burden on a country's health and welfare systems. In South Africa, the orphaned and vulnerable children crisis has become the focus of HBC programmes. These programmes are mostly within semi-urban settlements where the need is greatest. Successful software solution approaches developed to support HBC routing in other countries are difficult to implement in this low-tech, low-resource environment. A solution approach based on the spacefilling curve heuristic is presented as an easily implementable, adequately performing alternative to improve the routing of daily home visits. en_US
