CHAT’s Core Purpose:
To enhance communities well-being by integrating health with environmental initiatives.
CHAT serves medically underserved communities, often being the sole source of reliable healthcare. The frequency of services reaching communities depends on funding. Thus, CHAT prioritizes integrating self-sustainable access to services into its strategy. While collaborating with various partners, CHAT views the government as the most sustainable long-term partner for addressing family planning, health, and environmental needs.
CHAT’s Model of Community Sustainability
- Enter areas that are under-served and request our services.
- Engage local communities using integrated mobile strategies, which may include door to door Back Packing, vehicles or camels, all whilst using CHAT’s PHE approach.
- Educateand motivate community own resource persons (CORPs) partnering with CHAT to sensitize, mobilize, advocate and access their community services.
- Enhance the well-being of marginalized and disadvantaged communities by providing access to an integrated holistic eco-family planning intervention.
- Empower communities towards a self-sustainable environment.
- Exit once a framework of strong, well-managed leadership and institutional capacity is in place.
One of CHAT’s 3 goals is to:
Increase empowerment and resilience of communities through self-sustaining governance structures.
CHAT's program includes empowering those who live in marginalized communities by educating and engaging them to serve their community when the mobile units are not present and after the program ‘exits’.
