Community Health and Empowerment Clubs (CHECs) are GHC’s proven approach to transforming health, livelihoods, and leadership in rural Kenya. They are locally led, skills-based clubs where members learn, earn, and lead—creating lasting change from the inside out.

Why It Works
Locally Led: Run by community members, for community members.
Strengths-Based: Builds on existing skills, resources, and social networks.
Data-Driven: Baseline, midline, and endline surveys track measurable progress.
Sustainable: CHECs continue thriving long after our direct involvement ends.
From Knowledge to Action
CHECs are more than training programs—they’re hubs of innovation, cooperation, and problem-solving. Members turn knowledge into action, action into income, and income into stronger, healthier communities.
