Community-Own Resource Persons currently partnering with CHAT
CHAT works with communities through a partnership approach. The partnership with the community is formalized by working with local elders and leaders to identify a “community-own resource person” (CORPs). CORPs must be good mobilisers, trusted by community, and able to respect individual’s confidentiality.
CORPs work in their home communities to mobilise the services and support the community needs. CORPs focus on health, family planning & environment but may also participate in finding solutions to issues around development, livelihood projects, and many other needs of the community. CORPs are supported by CHAT through a MOU as well as on going mentoring, training (facilitated with the Government of Kenya), support and oversight. Each CORPs supports their community in a customized way to the needs and challenges of that region. |
