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.
Promote access to sexual and reproductive health information and services among young people and communities.
Empower youth with leadership skills, knowledge, and opportunities to participate in community development.
Strengthen community awareness and prevention efforts on HIV/AIDS and other health issues.
Promote education retention and life skills development among young people.
Support community livelihoods and economic empowerment through skills development initiatives.
Promote peace building, social cohesion, and community participation in development.
