About Us

Change Ambassadors Kenya (CHAKE) was founded in 2018 in Homa Bay County, Kenya, by a group of passionate youth advocates committed to transforming the lives of young people in the Lake Region.

Born from the urgent need to address teenage pregnancy, gender inequality, and limited economic opportunity, CHAKE emerged as a community-driven response to the challenges facing youth and women across Homa Bay County.

Our Mission: To empower youth and women in Homa Bay County through reproductive health education, economic empowerment, community advocacy, and legal rights awareness — enabling them to define and transcend their own limits.

CHAKE is governed by a Management Committee elected through a transparent and participatory process. Committee members are selected via secret ballot by the general membership, ensuring that leadership reflects the democratic will of the organization.

The Management Committee oversees strategic direction, financial stewardship, and programmatic accountability. It meets quarterly to review progress against goals, approve budgets, and ensure CHAKE remains true to its founding mission and values.

All governance documents, financial reports, and meeting minutes are available to members upon request, reflecting our commitment to transparency and community ownership.
