Kasese Community Health and Education Foundation (KCHEF) is concerned with building families where there is peace, good heath and economic empowerment for family sustainability and food security. This is important for pre-born and growing up children.

In order for the children to succeed in school, work and life, grater efforts must be made to reduce poverty levels by addressing problems or challenges such as family instability, low incomes, high prevalence of disease, low literacy rate, high rate of child stunting growth, domestic violence and poor hygiene and sanitation.
