Global Health Connections

Background Statement

Established in 2006 in Colorado, GHC began as an educational outreach organization that focused on water, sanitation and women around the world.

Now our focus is in Kenya and building Community Health and Empowerment Clubs (CHECs). Our clubs address the issues of health and economic instability through empowerment and are designed to build and maintain an improved and sustainable standard of living, as well as cultivate a shared sense of improved social well-being within the entire village.

For many, the desire to make a difference in places like Kenya is strong, yet knowing how to make a lasting impact can be challenging. Simple donations of money or goods, while helpful, are only short-term solutions that can sometimes foster dependency. GHC believes in sustainable change by equipping local leaders to empower their communities with essential life skills. With long-standing relationships on the ground, GHC supports villagers in improving health, sanitation, nutrition, and entrepreneurship.

Your support through a donation goes directly to these grassroots efforts in Kenya, creating real change. You can also “adopt” a village to see firsthand how your resources enhance lives and create opportunities. The happiness and hope you bring to others is truly rewarding—an inspiring way to make a difference!
