Communities Health Africa Trust
KWT to recognizes the impacts of healthy ecosystems in the success of
conservation efforts. Since 2013, KWT has been supporting Communities Health
Africa Trust (CHAT) in their efforts to empower communities to make healthy
choices that in turn, help protect habitats and wildlife.
Through its holistic approach of “Population-Health-Environment” (PHE), CHAT
reaches thirteen counties in Kenya focusing on ecosystems that are fragile and
communities that are most under-served.
KWT’s grant in 2019 helped CHAT cover some of its core operational costs
enabling them to provide various interventions to over 110,000 people. Their
innovative strategies which include use of camels, public transport and even
going on foot ensured that they reached even those in very remote areas. CHAT
provided family planning, TB treatment and contact tracing and basic curative
treatment integrated with HIV/AIDS services.
