Our Vision, Mission and Objective
To champion the professional growth, welfare, and recognition of Community Health Caregivers while enhancing equitable, quality, and sustainable community health services across Kenya.
A unified and empowered community health workforce transforming lives through accessible and high-quality health care for all.
To safeguard the interests of Community Health Professionals by: Promoting professional development and capacity building, advocating for policies that strengthen community health service delivery, fostering collaboration among health stakeholders to ensure equitable health access, upholding ethical standards and enhancing the dignity of Community Health Professionals
The Society of Community Health Caregivers was founded in February 2020 by graduates in Community Health from various universities and colleges across all 47 counties. Its primary mission was to amplify the voice of Community Health professionals and advocate for the broader interests of Community Health. The Society was officially registered under the provisions of CAP 108 of the Societies Act, by the Registrar of Societies in November 2020.
Community health is the foundation of a strong, resilient, and equitable healthcare system. It is the heartbeat of preventive care, ensuring that even the most underserved populations have access to basic health services, health education, and resources to lead healthier lives. As Community Health Professionals, we are not just caregivers but changemakers, addressing the root causes of health inequities and building bridges between the healthcare system and the communities we serve.
We’re a dynamic group of individuals who are passionate about what we do and dedicated to delivering the best in what we do
