At GHC, our vision is a world where health, equity, and prosperity are possible for every community. Our mission is to connect communities to innovative health initiatives and economic sustainability programs that create lasting, measurable change.
With on-the-ground Kenyan teams and data-driven models, we work alongside villages to build solutions that are both creative and sustainable — improving daily life locally while informing global best practice.
Through our Community Health & Empowerment Clubs (CHECs) and our VillageRise program, we help communities strengthen health in the home, build income, and sustain that progress over time.
We invite you to learn more on our website. You’ll find details about our CHEC model, the villages we partner with, our VillageRise program, our Adopt-a-Village sponsorships, and ways to support this work.
Our mission is to connect communities to innovative health initiatives and economic sustainability programs, aiming to create lasting and measurable change.
Global Health Connections (GHC) was founded in Colorado in 2006 to address critical issues around clean water, sanitation, and women’s health around the world.
Today, our work is focused in rural Kenya, where we build Community Health and Empowerment Clubs (CHECs). These clubs bring neighbors together to tackle two linked challenges: health and economic instability. CHECs are designed to improve daily life — clean water, safe sanitation, nutrition, financial literacy, income generation — and to build something even deeper: a shared sense of dignity, stability, and possibility across the whole village.
A lot of people want to “help Africa,” but don’t know how to do it in a way that actually lasts. One-time donations of money or goods can fill a gap, but they can also create dependency. GHC takes a different approach. We invest in local leaders and train communities to solve their own challenges long term. Because of long-standing relationships in Kenya, we’re able to support villages as they strengthen health behaviors, improve household conditions, launch small businesses, and build their own safety nets.
When you give to GHC, you’re not funding a short-term fix. You’re helping families gain the tools to keep going on their own.
You can make a direct donation to support this work. For partners who want to go deeper, we also offer an Adopt-a-Village sponsorship (starting at $10,000) that supports an entire community and follows its progress over time — from clean water, to new sources of income, to stronger health and safety in the home.
