Mr. Henry Gwagee and Miss Gormah Kolleh, both proud Liberian natives, have been happily married for 11 years and are the loving parents of four children: Micah, Hector, Henry Jr., and Amaris. Based in Aurora, Colorado, they are dedicated small business owners passionate about improving healthcare locally and in their homeland.  Together, they founded the Care Africa Medical Foundation (CAMF), a nonprofit organization committed to enhancing healthcare systems in Africa, starting with Liberia. Their mission involves building clinics and medical centers in rural communities to provide essential medical services and supplies crucial for improving the health sector.

Inspired by their visits to Liberia, Henry and Gormah recognized the urgent need for healthcare services in their hometown of Buchanan, Grand Bassa County. Over the past three years, they have organized free health fairs in local schools, empowering the community with vital health resources and education.  In addition to their nonprofit work, Henry and Gormah operate successful businesses that serve the aging population in Aurora, Colorado. They provide essential home health care services and assist the homeless community and individuals trapped in long-term care facilities through Community Transition Services. Their combined efforts have created employment opportunities for over 60 Colorado residents, showcasing their commitment to community support and economic growth. Gormah’s dedication to healthcare is further exemplified by her enrollment in nursing school, where she is pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).

CAMF is making significant strides in Liberia, with plans to construct its first medical center in Grand Bassa County, set to open in the fall of 2024. This facility is designed to serve the healthcare needs of the local population and represents a significant milestone in their efforts to deliver essential medical care to underserved communities. However, a pressing challenge remains the absence of reliable electricity in Grand Bassa County. Without a proper power source, they cannot operate the essential medical equipment and provide the level of care their patients deserve.

Care Africa Medical Foundation is a registered tax-exempt organization under Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service, reflecting its commitment to making a lasting impact on healthcare in Africa. Through their work, Henry and Gormah continue to inspire others with their unwavering dedication to health, compassion, and community service.
