A community-powered nonprofit

Care for the whole person. Hope for the whole community.

Founded in 2015 by nurse and behavioral health psychotherapist Matlhatso Kesupile-Reed, CHC is a safe, dignified place where children, youth, adults and elders can find the support they deserve.

What began as a free preschool has grown into a multi-service community hub—built from compassion and powered by people who believe sustainable health starts with knowledge, opportunity and self-reliance.
