What Access Health Africa does
Mission
Access Health Africa's medical service programming focuses on community-level interventions. Due to the decentralized nature of life in Malawi and the overburdened formal health sector, effective interventions happen at the community level - where Access Health Africa excels at working. AHA specializes in community level work, psychosocial support, building local capacity, providing direct services, and education. At the local level we focus on health knowledge, improving community structures and attitudes surrounding health, direct service delivery, and access to health services and care.

Programs
1. Medical Sponsorships identify patients with complex medical diagnoses that are unable to be treated by their community health center due to the complexity of the case. Many individuals with complex cases cannot access care due to high transportation costs, lack of understanding of the medical system, lack of funds for diagnostic tests and costs such as accommodations not covered by the public healthcare system, and lack of an advocate. AHA coordinates care for these patients and provides funds to ensure the patient, and a guardian if the patient is a minor, have everything they need to access quality care. Funds provided include funds to get to and from the treatment facility safely, nutritious food during one's stay at a medical facility, medical tests such as CT scans or bloodwork that are not covered by the public healthcare system, and sometimes even basic necessities such as new clothes or shoes. Patients are supported through the entire process and AHA provides follow-up support to ensure the medical issue is fully resolved.
$5,521 spent6% of program spending2. Surgical Camps provide a broad range of diagnoses, treatment, and surgical procedures to the people of Malawi while also providing training to local healthcare workers. Volunteers and paid practitioners, including doctors, nurses, and ancillary support staff, provide acute care to a population of patients who would otherwise not have access to medical care due to high transportation costs and/or lack of knowledge or understanding of the system. Malawi has just one doctor per 50,000 people - one of the lowest levels in the world. Recent research found that there are only 37 working surgeons in Malawi, the population of which is estimated to be approximately 17 million people. That's nearly half a million people per surgeon! In Surgical Camps, AHA staff partner directly with rural healthcare providers to identify individuals waiting for surgeries. A primary goal of AHA is not only to address the immediate, acute health issues in Malawi but also to increase the capacity of the healthcare sector, which is done through one-on-one partnerships during Surgical Camps.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $130k to $95k (−27%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of ACCESS HEALTH AFRICA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $11k → $140.
4 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ACCESS HEALTH AFRICA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ACCESS HEALTH AFRICA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ACCESS HEALTH AFRICA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of ACCESS HEALTH AFRICA's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $58k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
