CHAT CURRENTLY WORKS IN 14 ECOSYSTEMS, COVERING 19 COUNTIES IN KENYA

CHAT focuses their work at the nexus of where ecosystems are fragile, and communities are the most underserved.

ECOSYSTEMS

CHAT concentrates on fragile ecosystems where human-nature coexistence occurs, spanning diverse areas like mountains, acacia woodlands, dry-land savannah, and riverine zones. Unsustainable population growth in these regions leads to environmental degradation, perpetuating cycles of poverty and hardship for the communities relying on degraded natural resources.
