Our Impact
Meet Evelyn Bwari Mose
Evelyn raised four kids on her own after her husband died — farming maize, selling fruit at the market, making it work. Today she's the Chairlady of the Nyamecheo CHEC, leading a beekeeping project she once would have run from, and known by name far beyond her village.
Meet Mary Kwamboka Okero
Mary had a kitchen garden before GHC arrived. What she didn't have: knowledge about safe water, a path to steady income, or enough to cover her kids' school fees. Now she's the CHEC's Vice Secretary, selling vegetables and second-hand clothes every Monday, and her children's fees are paid.
19 Villages. One Model. Real Results.
From the shores of Lake Victoria to the plains of Kajiado, CHECs are changing how villages work — in health, income, and leadership. Today, 10 villages in Kisii, Homa Bay, and Kajiado Counties are actively running CHECs, with 9 more running on their own after graduating from our program.
