We have these units in South Africa that we call clusters. They aren't groups and they aren't branches. Essentially they create a temporary unit that is still part of a ward but the members have trouble getting transportation to the ward building. They find a school or something similar to rent to meet in and a member of the Bishopric is assigned to help grow the cluster and train the priesthood leadership. Typically after a few months the cluster has grown and strengthened enough that it can be turned into a branch with leaders from within. This past Sunday we took Elder and Sister Pace (Temple missionaries) to the Mohlakeng cluster. They will be assigned to help strengthen this unit. It took us about 50 minutes to get there and we only got lost once. But the spirit in this small cluster is amazing. They meet in a pre-school for the 3 hour block. The Pace's are so happy to be attending church here.
