Who We Are
About CHASID
CHASID (Community Health Association for Sustainable and Inclusive Development) is a non-profit community-focused organisation committed to improving the health, wellbeing, dignity, and living conditions of vulnerable and underserved communities. We believe that access to good health, education, clean water, social support, and opportunities for sustainable development should be available to everyone. Our work brings together community health, social support, education, empowerment, and sustainable development to address challenges affecting individuals, families, and communities. We work alongside communities, listening to their needs and supporting practical, inclusive, and sustainable solutions that create lasting positive change.
The story of CHASID – Community Health Association for Sustainable and Inclusive Development began with a simple but deeply held belief: every person deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, dignified, and meaningful life, regardless of their circumstances or where they live.
CHASID was founded with a desire to contribute to the wellbeing of communities and respond to challenges affecting individuals and families, particularly those who are vulnerable, disadvantaged, or have limited access to essential services and opportunities.
We recognize that health cannot be separated from the conditions in which people live. Limited access to healthcare, inadequate health information, poverty, educational barriers, unsafe water and sanitation, unemployment, and social vulnerability can all affect health and quality of life.
This understanding shaped the vision behind CHASID: to bring community health, social support, education, empowerment, and sustainable and inclusive development together through a holistic approach that improves lives and builds stronger communities.
A healthier, stronger and more sustainable Cameroon
Our vision is a Cameroon where every individual and community has the opportunity to live a healthy, dignified and sustainable life, with equitable access to essential healthcare, knowledge, social support, opportunities and the resources needed to build a better future.
The mission of CHASID – Community Health Association for Sustainable and Inclusive Development is to improve the health, wellbeing, dignity, and living conditions of vulnerable and underserved individuals, families, and communities.
We pursue this mission by developing and supporting community-based health, social, educational, humanitarian, and sustainable development initiatives that respond to locally identified needs.
Our Work Focuses On:
- Improving access to community health information, prevention, and support;
- Promoting maternal, newborn, and child health;
- Supporting older people and vulnerable individuals;
- Promoting disability inclusion, rehabilitation, and social participation;
- Supporting mental health awareness and psychosocial wellbeing;
- Promoting good nutrition and healthy lifestyles;
- Improving awareness and practices relating to water, sanitation, and hygiene;
- Providing health education and community training;
- Supporting the empowerment of women and young people;
- Responding to humanitarian and social needs;
- Supporting sustainable community development and livelihood opportunities; and
- Building partnerships that strengthen communities and support lasting solutions.
We believe that sustainable change is achieved with communities, not simply for communities. We therefore encourage meaningful participation, strengthen local capacity, promote dignity and inclusion, and support practical solutions that can continue to benefit communities beyond individual projects.
