Mask up for a great cause!

Thanks to a generous grant from 4Imprint’s One by One charitable giving program, AHA embroidered and screen-printed masks are now available for purchase in the United States for our “Hope at Home” Fall Fundraiser!

Custom-made AHA masks are now available for purchase on our website!

100% of proceeds will go towards Camp Hope, which serves adolescents newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in Malawi. For every AHA mask purchased, two masks will be made by artisans in Malawi, and donated to AHA and Camp Hope families to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to Malawi’s most vulnerable populations. See more about Camp Hope and how they’re adapting to COVID-19 in Malawi here on our blog.

Masks are available for purchase right here on our website at www.accesshealthafrica.org/swag
