About the Book
Lasting change starts local. Villages Rising draws on Global Health Connections’ work across 19 Kenyan villages to show how Community Health & Empowerment Clubs (CHECs) pair practical health steps—clean water, sanitation, nutrition—with simple enterprises like kitchen gardens, table banking, and beekeeping. The result: healthier households, rising incomes, and community leadership that keeps momentum going.
This book is for anyone interested in international/community development, along with Rotarians, donors, and peer nonprofits who want tools that actually travel. Inside are field stories, practical methods, and clear takeaways on what helps change stick and how communities track progress over time.
