Access Health Africa

Access Health Africa Improving access to quality health services, edu & resources through community-driven initiatives.

Access Health Africa is a new organization with 15 years of experience, Access Health Africa grew out of World Camp, Inc., a NGO created in 2000. World Camp initially focused on sending international volunteers to Malawi to educate primary school youth about HIV-prevention. As World Camp grew more established, our vision also grew to address health more broadly. We began to educate about locally-r

elevant topics such as deforestation and the gender dynamics that helped fuel the spread of HIV. After over a decade of work in Malawi, our reputation enabled us to partner closely with community leaders, addressing health challenges through in-community health interventions, alongside educational initiatives. Access Health Africa is founded upon these relationships & experiences.

Your Amazon Wish List purchases at work!

Someone very generously purchased walkie talkies off our Amazon Wish List, and we've used them ever since!! When cell service is unreliable, walkie talkies allow us to easily communicate between the OR, male ward, and female ward, most often to request a gurney for patient transport (as Jeremiah was doing in this photo).

While we have all the walkie talkies we could need, there is more needed supplies on our Amazon Wish List. If you purchase them in the next few days, we'll carry them to Malawi and put them right to use during our September surgical camp!

Items currently on the list include a tent to serve as a mobile exam room, jock straps to ease post-surgical pain and swelling of hydrocele patients, ice packs to safely transport biopsies to the lab, PPE, drapes, and office supplies like expo markers and printer ink.

Your Amazon Wish List purchases at work!

Last year, someone very generously purchased clipboards off our Amazon Wish List, and we've used them ever since!! While we have all the clipboards we could need, there are more supplies on our Amazon Wish List. If you purchase them in the next few days, we'll carry them to Malawi and put them right to use during our September surgical camp!

**UPDATE** Thank you to the VERY generous donor who already sent us this tent! There are still quite a few other items we need for our September surgical camp available at https://amzn.to/3c0g6bY.

This is the new mobile exam tent we will be more durable than then previous one. It’s available on our wish list, which is at the link in our bio. (Or DM us and we will send you the link).

Having a mobile exam room is so helpful to protect patient privacy when surgeons need to look at hernias. This also allows privacy when discussing surgical interventions. Remember, in Malawi, our patients show up early and wait in line on benches outside the Operating Theater, so any conversations had in line are heard by all.

We are intentional with setting up the mobile exam room off to the side so all conversations with patients are not overheard by other patients.

Thank you for considering donating a mobile exam room!

This tent was purchased from our Amazon Wish List and first used at our November 2025 camp. It worked so well, doubling the rooms that our volunteer and local surgeons had to examine patients before surgery. But, we struggled constantly with its bars, and they unfortunately snapped in July 2026, leaving the tent unusable.

Now that we know how important a mobile exam room is, and how difficult those poles are, we have a new solutions... and a new tent on our Amazon Wish List!

This tent is slightly bigger and with poles that don't bend: https://amzn.to/3c0g6bY. If someone purchases it in the next few days, it'll be carried to Malawi and used at our upcoming September surgical camp!

Our AHA team and the Mitundu team met today to have the Preparatory Meeting for September Surgical camp! We discussed needs, supplies, patient bookings and timing of the camp. We are so grateful to have the eager participation of our Mitundu colleagues as we prepare to serve the community!

Just a few more weeks and our volunteers will be in Malawi!

Thank you Ethicon Surgicals for the generous donation of sutures for our September surgical camp.

These are an obvious necessity when performing surgery. Thank you for helping us!

Wow! We don’t have the words to express our gratitude, appreciation, and excitement after tonight’s fundraiser!

BIG shoutout to The Harper Room for being the bests hosts, Frankie’s Pizza and Katz Sandwich Co for the incredible food, and EVERYONE who made tonight a success!!

We are still tallying the totals, but we know we raised OVER $8,000!!!

When one surgery costs $30, and roundtrip transportation for a patient is no more than $10, and medications are just a couple of cents, $8,000 goes such a long way in Malawi.

Thanks to you, we are ready to pack our bags and fly to Malawi in September, where we’ll treat 100+ patients over 4.5 days.

Stay tuned, our success in September is thanks to all of our supporters!
