MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION
The CHAK Constitution provides for membership of “Any Protestant Church or church sponsored or related non-profit making organization or community group with the objective of promoting health and health service within the Republic of Kenya”.
Application for CHAK membership is made on a membership form prescribed by CHAK EXCO and submitted to the General Secretary for processing.
Each applicant is required to be proposed and seconded for membership by a voting member of CHAK.
Upon submission to the General Secretary, the application is required to be accompanied by an application processing fee of Ksh500 and a copy of the certificate of registration in Kenya of the body sponsoring the applicant.
Health units and churches applying for CHAK membership are required to submit a copy of their certificate of registration by the relevant authorities in Kenya.
The CHAK Executive Committee then considers the application on merit. Once registered, all members are issued with a membership certificate and an annual subscription payment certificate.
Members pay a set annual subscription fee and obtain rights to vote at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Summary of CHAK Regions and RCCs
CHAK members are grouped into four regions—Eastern/North Eastern, Nairobi/Central/South East and Coast, Western/North Rift, and Nyanza/South Rift—to support representation, communication, and equitable program implementation. Each region has a 12-member Regional Coordinating Committee (RCC) elected by members, ensuring gender balance. RCCs serve as a vital link between CHAK Secretariat and member health units, facilitating communication, reviewing health service issues, sharing resources, and strengthening advocacy and networking efforts. The RCC chair represents the region in the CHAK Executive Committee (EXCO).
