A big thank you to the team for facilitating our visioning workshop this week. The workshop was a key activity in the mid-term review of the CHAK Strategic Plan 2023-2026. The catalytic discussions we had during the workshop are key in ensuring a more robust CHAK that is responsive to the health care needs of Kenyans served by our member network over the next three years. As part of the mid-term evaluation of the Strategic Plan 2023-2028, CHAK has undertaken a strategic re-alignment process, taking a fresh look at the fruits of the tree described in our founding Bible verse in Rev 22:2. These fruits – CHAK Health Services and CHAK Business Services – are critical in ensuring our network successfully moves towards Universal Health Coverage. CBSL CHAK Guest House & Conference Centre

On Sunday, September 14, 2025, the CHAK fraternity experienced a grave loss following the death of Rufus Buku Gikonyo. Rufus was a valued member of our team, working in the USAID Jamii Tekelezi Programme (UJTP), Meru Office. This week, the CHAK team came together to mourn Rufus, a young man gone too soon and whose memory we will cherish forever. Rufus was jovial, hard working, considerate, full of love for his colleagues and friends and a bread winner for his family. Rest In Peace Rufus; Forever cherished, forever in our hearts. 💔

Community Health Promoters (CHPs) are key in bridging the gap between facility-based care and underserved populations, especially in rural and remote areas. CHAK is working closely with the CHPs in Narok County to advance Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health. By building the CHPs’ capacity and providing critical support, CHAK has not only reached Women of Reproductive age with life-saving health education messages and services but has also empowered the men, through Male Dialogue Forums, to better care for their wives and children and improve their health seeking behaviour.

We applaud the Health Care Workers and CHPs in Naikarra Health Centre, Talek Health Centre and Mara Rianda Health Centre for the good work!

Community Health Promoters (CHPs) play a critical role in promoting access to health care services, encouraging utilization of available resources, connecting individuals with appropriate services and supporting implementation of health initiatives. During the rollout of the IMARA Package, which CHAK in collaboration with other partners is implementing within the Evaluation of Integrated Services (EIS) study, we met with CHPs in Kitui County to discuss their role in advocating for integration of HIV/AIDS services at community level.
The CHPs assured the study team that they were already integrating HIV/AIDS and NCD services during their household visits and would continue to improve delivery with the training and mentorship offered by the study.
There is increased impetus at national and subnational levels for HIV services to be integrated to routine primary care. However, there is limited evidence to guide decision making on the approach, feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-efficiency of such integration. It is for this reason that CHAK (lead partner), UON, NASCOP, D-NCD, Kitui, Kiambu and Nairobi counties are undertaking the EIS study which aims to evaluate the feasibility, systemic requirements, cost implications, and acceptability of integrating HIV and NCDs care in selected health facilities, and implement an integration intervention package to respond to evaluation findings in the three counties.

It was an exciting day as we rolled out the IMARA package of care at Kyuso Level 4 Hospital in Kitui County. The IMARA Package, being implemented within the Evaluation of Integrated Services pilot study, is a locally driven, evidence-based framework for delivering integrated HIV and non-communicable disease (NCD) care in primary health care settings.
IMARA is an acronym for Integrated Model for Accessible, Resilient and Accountable Care.
CHAK and project partners, UON, Kitui County and NASCOP held discussions with the Kitui CHMT and Kyuso Level 4 Hospital management team to identify opportunities and modalities for integration of NCD and HIV/AIDS services.
The care package shall: I – Institutionalize Standards and Tools; M – Mobilize Capacity and Systems; A – Align Service Delivery; R – Review Performance and Quality; and, A – Anchor Sustainability and Community Ownership
The roll out was also attended by representatives from the study Intervention and Control sites in Kitui County.
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility, systemic requirements, cost implications, and acceptability of integrating HIV and NCDs care in selected health facilities and implement an integration intervention package to respond to evaluation findings in three counties in Kenya - Kitui, Kiambu and Nairobi.
The study is being carried out in 50 sites in the three counties and will provide a solid basis for integration of health services. CBSL Chak Guesthouse Department of Health Services - Kiambu County Kitui County Ministry of Health & Sanitation
