  Background CHAPS is a community puppetry-in-education programme of Family Programmes Promotions Services, FPPS. The programme has a network of over 350 puppeteers, from more than 40 community based puppet troupes in rural and urban Kenya. These groups perform educational and interactive puppetry performances as part of community education initiative on a variety of socio-development issues and themes.
     
  Our Story The Family Planning Private Sector (FPPS-K) now known as the Family Programmes Promotion Services (FPPS) initiated the CHAPS programme in 1994. The African Research and Education Puppetry Programme (AREPP) of Johannesburg, South Africa conducted the pilot puppetry training. The graduates formed the core team of FPPS/CHAPS puppetry trainers.
     
  Our mission  Our vision is to explore and develop puppetry as a popular performing and participatory education theatre in Kenya and the region.
