Is Charity now a business in Africa???


Our Biggest challenge in Africa in our fight against Breast Cancer, is not just educating the people, but getting partners to believe that our fight is for real. 

So many organisations have turned NGO’s into a business. Too many stories of fund misappropriations and failed promises. The first reaction you get when you approach a possible sponsor is, “are you really going to do what you have on paper’?

You can’t really blame these Partners, who have a real desire to help, but just cant find the right source to put their funds.  Many NGO’s in Africa, just jump into the areas where there is funding and start setting up programs to benefit from these fundings. SAD, very sad.

There are people dying, there was a woman whom we met at the rural communities last week who was in stage 2 of her Breast cancer and was still selling at the markets in pain. “No source for help and not hope”. What do we do with this woman?

Its frustrating, to see so many women in Africa suffering in silence, while others just corruptly deprive them of their support. I know that this blog may fall on some deaf ears, but we are going to continue to keep pushing and driving these points in Africa.

Charity is not a business but a Sacrifice.

Support Cancel Cancer Africa, we are winning the war against Breast Cancer in Africa.
