CHASE Africa improves access to healthcare and removes barriers to family planning for remote rural communities in East Africa.
We work with local partners to strengthen existing healthcare systems, incorporate Sexual and Reproductive Health and facilitate improved access to health services. We have adopted a holistic approach which also supports projects that aim to empower women, promote resilience to climate change, protect biodiversity and improve the management of natural resources.
We encourage and facilitate learning and information dissemination across our different local partners through the CHASE Africa partner network.
Healthy
women
We improve women’s health and wellbeing, and that of their families. Our community health programmes break down barriers that prevent women accessing health services and realising their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.
Healthy communities
By enhancing knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving access to healthcare and contraception, we create positive ripple effects throughout the community. We improve health-seeking behaviour and we empower individuals to advocate for their needs.
Healthy environment
CHASE Africa promotes a one-health approach, recognising the interconnectedness of human and environmental health and wellbeing. Empowering communities with healthcare, information and strong community structures enables better care for the environment, natural resources and biodiversity.
