About CEHI

A community-driven organization addressing health, social, and economic challenges.

Born in Adjumani District, CEHI-Uganda works alongside young people, families, schools, and community leaders to build the kind of resilience that lasts beyond any single project cycle.

Who we are

Building from inside the community.

CEHI is a community-based nonprofit working at the intersection of health promotion, youth empowerment, education, and livelihoods. Our programs are designed with — not for — the communities we serve.

Vision

Healthy, empowered and resilient communities driving sustainable development.

Mission

To empower communities through health promotion, youth empowerment, education, and community-driven initiatives that improve wellbeing and support sustainable development.

What guides us

Five values, one promise to community.

Community Empowerment

We trust communities to lead their own change and equip them to do it well.

Integrity

We are accountable to the people, partners, and donors we serve — in word and action.

Inclusiveness

Every voice counts, especially those most often left out of the conversation.

Collaboration

We build with — not for — partners, schools, leaders, and neighbours.

Innovation

We try, learn, and adapt so that what works gets stronger and what doesn't gets retired.

Where we are headed

Six strategic objectives.

These objectives anchor every program we run and every partnership we pursue.
