CHASE Africa is a UK-based NGO originally founded in 2000 as The Rift Valley Tree Trust, with an initial focus on tree planting in Kenya. Realizing the deep link between poverty, environmental degradation, and lack of access to reproductive healthcare, the organization shifted its focus in 2012 to community health and sustainable development, renaming itself CHASE Africa. The NGO now supports primary healthcare and family planning programs in remote areas through 14 partners across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. To date, it has delivered over 640,000 family planning services and 1.5 million basic health services. CHASE Africa emphasizes gender equality by promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights, believing this empowerment helps break the cycle of poverty and strengthens communities. Its work is rooted in a community-focused, cost-effective, and rights-based approach, strengthening existing health systems and supporting long-term local partnerships. In addition to funding, CHASE Africa provides technical support, training, and facilitates knowledge sharing through the CHASE Africa Partner Network and its annual conference, promoting best practices and replicable models across East Africa.
About the project
Women and youth in Kenya’s South Rift face serious health and social challenges, including high rates of teen pregnancy, early marriage, FGM, and limited access to reproductive health services. CHASE Africa, in partnership with The Maa Trust and SORALO, will implement a program to address these issues through health education, mobile clinics, peer mentoring, and training of healthcare workers. The initiative aims to change harmful cultural norms, improve healthcare access, and promote sustainable development by integrating health, economic empowerment, and environmental conservation. It also seeks to create long-term, systemic change and share best practices with similar communities across Kenya and Tanzania.
