Copperbelt Health Education Project (CHEP) is a non governmental organisation which was founded in 1988 as a health education project under the administration of The Rotary Club of Kitwe. Overtime the project became registered as an independent organisation dedicated to implement HIV/AIDS prevention and impact mitigation activities in the Copperbelt communities. It is now registered with the Registrar of Companies as a non-governmental organisation with a Company Limited by Guarantee status.

Our Mission is to help communities in Zambia develop knowledge, values, and life skills that enable creativity, responsibility and healthy life styles through sub-granting and capacity building of local partners. more

20th Anniversary for CHEP

Copperbelt Health Education Project which was initiated in 1988 will next year 2008 celebrate its 20 years of service in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention.  CHEP has made impact on various communities on the Copperbelt in preventing the further spread of HIV/AIDS and TB and ensuring that those who are infected are not stigmatised.   Since its inception CHEP has been involved in national and international campaigns against HIV/AIDS and TB.  CHEP is physically established in Kitwe, but that does not mean that has only focused on Kitwe or just the Copperbelt.  We have implemented programs even beyond Copperbelt and Zambia.  We have actively trained and mentored organisations in the SADC Region and Sierraleone in West Africa. more
