The last method in which community organizations became aware of the DCs is through “being invited by the Center” as indicated by 18 of the respondents. This is the case especially for Beam Africa, Duduza and Kungwini which all were rated by 3 or more community organizations. 3.2 Other channels for awareness Respondents were asked to specify other channels in which they became aware of the DCs. The responses classified under the method were further broken down and the themes “other” that emerged were organized accordingly. Five themes emerged from the responses as follows: Proactive approach (6 responses such as advertising, invited by the Department, approached by the Center and invited for a meeting). Previous relationship with the Center (5 responses such as being a former board member, a former manager, part of the launch, or part of the founding group); Community interactions (5 responses such as situated in the same ward, school visits, community meetings, and the fact that they are known in the community); Word of mouth (4 responses such as being informed by the Pastor or heard through their satellite center) Need (Only 1 community organization indicated that they got to know about the DC as they wanted their service) This indicated that the centers are proactive in establishing relationships with the community organizations.
