Our Vision
Communities where every person can thrive
We envision communities where quality healthcare is accessible, livelihoods are resilient, environments are sustainable, and every individual has the opportunity to participate in shaping a healthier future.
Why this matters
Communities deserve more than isolated interventions.
Health, livelihoods, climate resilience, mental wellbeing and community participation are deeply connected. CHART exists to bring these strands together through research, partnerships and locally informed action that can strengthen systems and improve lives across Kenya and the United Kingdom.
