ABOUT US

Climate Health Equity Africa (CHEA) is a youth-led, women-centric organization committed to advancing climate justice and public health in underserved communities starting from women and children across Africa.

We work at the intersection of climate change, public health, and gender equity, empowering vulnerable populations, especially women and children who are disproportionately affected, with the knowledge, tools, and resources to build climate-resilient futures.

Founded on the belief that health is the human face of climate change, CHEA was created to address the growing health impact caused by climate change, poor sanitation, and climate-induced vulnerabilities, especially among women, children, and marginalized groups.

Through community-based projects, climate-health education, and advocacy, we raise awareness about the health impacts of climate change in Africa and take bold action to reduce those impacts.

OUR CORE VALUES

Empowerment – We invest in people and their potential to create change.

Education – We believe informed communities are powerful communities.

Collaboration – We work with schools, NGOs, and youth to amplify impact.

Action – We don’t just talk about climate justice, we live it through grassroots action.
