What Oneworld Health does

OneWorld Health is a Charleston, South Carolina–based nonprofit healthcare organization founded in 2009 (firmographics lists 2008) that operates a network of 17 self-sustaining medical clinics across Uganda, Nicaragua, and Honduras. The organization targets rural underserved populations—approximately 60% of whom live more than three miles from the nearest health facility in its geographies—and delivers a broad clinical scope including maternal and neonatal care, emergency services, diagnostics, chronic disease management, and general medicine. Cumulative patient reach exceeds 1.4 million since inception, with a one-million-patient milestone reached in 2024 and 43% year-over-year patient volume growth at Honduras clinics that year.

The organization's core operating model combines permanent clinic facilities staffed by local healthcare professionals with two non-traditional delivery channels introduced to extend reach: a nurse-facilitated teleclinic model pairing on-site staff with virtual physicians (deployed in Honduras since late 2023), and a fully equipped mobile medical unit capable of two exam rooms and ultrasound, expected to serve 350+ patients per month. The stated objective is for clinics to reach financial self-sufficiency within 24 months, and 97% of clinics currently operate independently. Diagnostic capabilities include on-site ultrasound and laboratory services, with neonatal intensive care (kangaroo care, oxygen support) available at the Bweyale, Uganda facility.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid nonprofit model: (1) individual donations at tiered monthly sustainer levels ($25 Essential Supporter, $50 Impact Partner, $100 Hope Builder) plus one-time gifts; (2) corporate and church project sponsorships ranging from $10,000 to $100,000+ per project; (3) volunteer program fees that cover travel, accommodation, and meals; (4) affordable patient fees at the point of care, designed to subsidize and eventually sustain operations; and (5) corporate partnerships such as Insight Global Field Day fundraisers and Healthy Realty's per-transaction donation model. Key long-tenured partners include Seacoast Church (since 2009), ASHA (since 2015), and Insight Global (since 2020), with newer relationships through Commonwealth Cares and LEPP added in 2023. Leadership transitioned in 2025, with Bobby Majka appointed CEO effective June 9, 2025, succeeding founder/Executive Director Michael O'Neal, who moved to the Board of Directors.
