ACHCGA
We are the African Center For Health, Climate & Gender Justice Alliance (ACHCGA), a mighty force of young Kenyans rising to the challenge of our time. We are the generation who inherits this planet, and we refuse to stand by as climate change threatens our health, our communities, and our very future. We are passionate about promoting women’s and youth’s involvement in gender, climate change, SRHR and GBV in Kenya through advocacy, cooperation, collaboration, social outfit models, institutional mechanisms, support for new technologies and innovations, and a combination of these strategies
Our Goals
The center focuses on achieving a future where everyone can thrive in a healthy environment. This requires addressing three critical issues:
- Climate Action: Mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change that are already happening.
- Resilient Health: Strengthening healthcare systems and communities so they can withstand and recover from climate-related shocks and stresses.
- Gender Justice: Ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender identity, has equal access to resources and opportunities to address climate change and build a healthier future
We achieve this through:
- Promoting Women’s and Youth Involvement: We actively work towards this goal through all our initiatives.
- Supporting Access to SRH Services: We advocate for adolescents, youth, and women in humanitarian settings to access quality SRH services and implementation of Minimal Initial Service Package (MISP) services.
- Promoting Gender Equality and Human Rights: Advocacy and awareness are central to our work.
- Supporting grassroot youth-led initiatives and Community Based Organizations: We empower youth organizations through training, networking, and resource mobilization.
- Increasing Awareness and Budget Making Processes: We use dialogues, training, advocacy, and lobbying to achieve this goal.
- Promoting ESG Adoption: We raise awareness of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices including MISP among CSOs, the private sector, and counties.
Join The Uprising
We are rewriting the narrative, not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. Together, we can build a future where a thriving Earth and empowered communities stand strong.
