The Copperbelt Health Education Project (CHEP) was established and registered with the Registrar of Societies in 1988 as a Zambian non-profit Organization to help respond to the emergent HIV/AIDS problem which was widely affecting several Zambian families. In 2009, pursuant to the requirements of the NGO act of 2009, CHEP was registered with the Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health. CHEP started its operations as a community health service wing of the Kitwe Rotary Club. It started with a mandate to raise awareness, educate and support communities to prevent the spread of HIV. CHEPβs initial focus was on the Copperbelt where it has a distinctive competence in ensuring that public-private partnerships (PPPs) are harnessed.
