Empowering Africa to Eliminate Malaria – From Within
Afrika Kwanza Health Impact is a bold, African-led non-governmental organization committed to accelerating the elimination of malaria across the continent. “Kwanza,” meaning first or beginning in Swahili, reflects our mission to ignite a new chapter—where African nations lead the charge with self-reliance, innovation, and unity.
Founded with the vision of an Africa free from malaria, we support National Malaria Control Programs (NMCPs) by strengthening leadership, building technical capacity, and facilitating evidence-based decision-making. Our approach is hands-on, country-driven, and rooted in the belief that real impact starts when leadership comes from within.
