ABOUT US
Christian Community Healthcare Foundation-Kenya (COHECF-KENYA): Founded in April 2017, Christian Community Healthcare Foundation-Kenya (COHECF-KENYA) is a non-sectarian, not-for-profit organization headquartered in Kitale, Kenya. Our organization was born out of a deep-seated commitment to address the pressing challenges our communities face—challenges that hinder sustainable development and overall well-being. We recognized that to empower our communities truly, we needed to tackle these issues head-on through a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of poverty, inequality, and conflict.
Our Origins and Purpose:
COHECF-KENYA was established by a group of dedicated individuals who had witnessed firsthand the struggles of underserved populations in accessing necessities such as healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. We saw the need for a community-driven approach to development that would meet immediate needs and lay the foundation for long-term growth and resilience. Our founders understood that sustainable development requires more than temporary relief; it demands a comprehensive strategy that empowers people to take charge of their futures. This belief drives our work today as we build on our five key pillars: Health, Education, Peace, Economic Empowerment, and Agriculture.
Our Key Pillars:
1. Healthcare: We are committed to ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare services for underserved populations. Our innovative healthcare initiatives focus on prevention, treatment, and education to improve community health.
2. Agriculture: Our agricultural programs aim to enhance food security and empower communities through sustainable farming practices. We also focus on smart agriculture and climate change, equipping farmers with modern techniques and technologies to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Promoting climate-resilient farming methods, we help communities safeguard their livelihoods and contribute to ecological sustainability.
3. Peacebuilding: Promoting peace is at the heart of our work. We engage in dialogue, reconciliation, and conflict resolution, fostering community harmony and understanding. Our peacebuilding initiatives aim to create safe and cohesive environments where everyone can thrive.
4. Education: Education is the key to unlocking potential. Our programs focus on providing youth with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to become the leaders of tomorrow. We offer educational support, vocational training, and mentorship to empower young people to build brighter futures.
5. Economic Empowerment: We support communities building sustainable livelihoods through various economic empowerment initiatives. By providing resources, training, and opportunities, we help individuals and families achieve financial independence and improve their quality of life.
Why We Started COHECF-KENYA:
COHECF-KENYA was founded with a clear vision: to create a platform where communities could come together to solve their challenges, supported by the expertise and resources they need. We started this organization because we believe in the power of people—when given the right tools, knowledge, and support, communities can overcome adversity and build a brighter future for themselves.
Our journey began with realizing that sustainable development is only possible when communities are actively involved. We wanted to create an organization that addresses immediate needs and empowers people to become agents of change in their own lives. This mission continues to guide everything we do as we work to uplift and empower communities across Kenya and beyond.
Join us on our mission to bring together these essential elements, forging a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Together, we can create lasting change and empower communities to thrive.
