Who We Are ?
About CHG KENYA

Commonwealth Housing Group Kenya (CHG) is a nonprofit organization that provides support to marginalized communities living in deplorable conditions, seeking to provide themselves with decent and secure homes.

Consequently, we support community-led initiatives tackling the housing
challenge in urban informal settlements. Currently, rehousing the MWAMKO families of Korogocho informal settlement, Nairobi, Kenya, is our main project since we believe that a decent home is at the core of thriving communities.

When a family has a secure and stable home, they are able to improve their livelihoods, pull themselves out of poverty and build robust communities.
