Quality Education
Our primary is to ensure children access quality education. Why? Because quality education is the fourth UN Sustainable Development Goal and is a sustainable means to reduce poverty and bring lasting change.
What we do!
We're The Chalbi Fund.
We exist to ensure girls, women and other vulnerable groups have a fair chance at accessing life-transforming opportunities - be it quality education, healthcare or livelihood opportunities.
We achieve this by providing opportunities to poorly resourced members of communities from underserved geographies in forgotten and remote corners of Northern Kenya. Armed with that, we know these girls and women will be empowered to determine their own future.
Women are the backbone of our healthcare systems from the olden days to date. Rural women face monumental challenges to access quality healthcare due to gender inequality, poverty, and weak healthcare systems. Addressing these complex challenges requires sustained investments in infrastructure, education, and policies that prioritize women's healthcare needs. In Northern Kenya, women often have to spend their meagre resources to access hospitals often hundred of kilometres away - this should not be the case.

Accessible Healthcare
Globally, about one third of the human population does not have access to essential health services. In Kenya, this percentage is close to 50%. In Northern Kenya, the figures drops to an unbelievable 22%
"Today, Africa is the world's youngest continent in the world with 70% of the population below 35 years of age. However, for many young people access to quality education can be difficult to come by. "

"There is more to education than putting a child in a classroom. That act equips the current and future generations with critical skills required to thrive in the 21st century to overcome poverty. "

"Inadequate human capital, healthcare financing, management and poor leadership are the major challenges of healthcare systems in rural parts of Northern Kenya. New models of heathcare financing must be developed to support vulnerable populations against disease."
