CHE Uganda is the Community Health Empowerment network.

CHE (Community Health Evangelism) is a true best practices model for integrating evangelism and discipleship with community based development.

CHE began here in East Africa and has become a worldwide movement.   As it has spread to other parts of the world, because it proved adaptable to a wide-range of situations.

Today CHE is being used around the world by churches, denominations, mission agencies, non-government organizations, and national and local governments to lift whole communities out of cycles of poverty and disease.

The success of a CHE program can be measured by the following transformational indicators. These are the outcomes that we consistently see in mature CHE programs around the world.

By developing local CHE trainers and workers, we help communities identify their greatest needs and help mobilize them to become their own change agents.

When this happens, we see the following results:

Shared vision	The community sees a better future and has hope that it can be achieved.
Leadership	Godly Christian leaders are positioned and equipped to lead the community toward the accomplishment of its vision.
Ownership	People are taking responsibility for their own health and well being.
Cooperation	People are united and working together for the common good.
Volunteers:	People are taking initiative and acting sacrificially to meet the legitimate needs of others.
Dignity	People have recovered their identity as made in the image of God and their vocation as stewards of creation. Instead of being controlled or victimized by their environment, they are stewards of it.
Learning, Skill, and Resources	People are equipped to identify needs and resources, put together a plan, and mobilize volunteers to accomplish their vision. People are continually reflecting on what is happening in order to learn how to be more effective.
Christian Community and Witness	Believers are meeting together for fellowship, prayer, Bible study and worship, and are sharing Christ with their neighbors in word and deed.

Once these things start to happen, communities begin to change.

Really change!

Health improves, infant mortality decreases, agriculture becomes more productive, jobs are created, water systems, roads, schools and clinics are built, and churches are established or strengthened.

And all of this is achieved at the initiative of the people.

Peace, justice, compassion, and righteousness are witnessed in the community and God is glorified.
