This document summarizes a study on the social construction of identity in HIV/AIDS home-based care volunteers in rural Kwa-Zulu Natal. It outlines the literature review, project details, rationale, methodology, results, and discussion. The study used qualitative narrative interviews with 15 volunteers to understand how their personal identities are shaped by their social roles as caregivers and their collective identity as members of the "Uthandolomama" care group. The results showed that the volunteers develop identities as compassionate helpers through their work, while drawing upon social and cultural contexts like motherhood, community, and religion. The discussion considers how their personal identities are connected to their role in caring for others and membership in the collective group.
