Chep Project (Childres’s Health Programme)
Harambee
The CHEP project in Harambee wants to provide health care to 100 children in the suburbs of Nairobi (Kenya) for 10 years.
€ 50 can save a child's life in Africa
The program has been designed by Kimlea Clinic to strengthen children's health in the suburbs of Nairobi in Kenya (Kiambu) for the children of tea pickers.
This initiative responds to one of the millennium goals "that no child dies due to lack of healthcare."
In Kenya, more than 8% of children die before they reach 5 years of age. If they have medical attention at this stage, they will save their life. € 5 is what Kimlea Clinic health insurance costs for a whole year. € 50 ensures health care for a child for 10 years.
Goals:
The overall objective of the project is the development of healthy and strong children in Kiambu.
The specific objectives are:
1. Provide health care to children aged 4 to 14 without resources in Kiambu.
2. Child protection
Total project goal: 2.500€
Harambee
Harambee is an international association that wishes to contribute to enhancing the potential of the different realities of Sub-Saharan Africa through two main lines of action:
1. Strengthen the capacity of local human resources, supporting African entities in the implementation of projects in the field of basic education, vocational training, academia and business;
2. To deepen knowledge about Africa in order to overcome stereotypes and contribute to a culture of coexistence and complementarity.
In Africa, Harambee supports, through private fundraising, local institutions that work with professionalism and experience to ensure personalized attention with the aim of transferring skills and, at the same time, to offer people the tools to take responsibility for themselves, the ability to make decisions and plan their future.
