A lack of access to family planning services contributes to an enormous amount of poverty, suffering, and environmental degradation. CHAT works to strengthen communities and reduce suffering of individuals through enabling access and information to family planning with a holistic health and environmental approach. At the centre of CHAT’s approach is the concept of well-being – that people and nature need to be in balance for both to prosper. CHAT utilizes a Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) approach to improve well-being through the connection of people and their environment.
CHAT works closely with the Kenyan Ministry of Health. However, the Government of Kenya is currently not in a position to fully support or absorb the cost of these programs. For this reason, CHAT is strongly dependent on donor contributions.
