We’re delighted to start the year with positive coverage of CHASE Africa’s work from BBC Somerset.

As part of a series highlighting locally based Somerset charities, BBC Somerset featured interviews with our CEO Harriet and Founder Robin Witt, reflecting on CHASE Africa’s 25-year journey. The interviews explored the organisation’s founding in 2000, the early focus on tree planting, and how our work has evolved to centre on women’s health and integrated health and environment projects.

The conversations also addressed the ongoing challenges faced by the communities we support, alongside the impact achieved to date across East Africa.
