We need an Ultra-Sound Machine to Help us do more for rural African women. Help Cancel Cancer Africa

Cancel Cancer Africa Fundraiser: Please Click to Donate.. 

We need an Ultra-Sound Machine to Help us do more for rural African women. We are organising a fundraising event at Hyde Park on the 27th of July at 2pm.


As I am sure you are aware, the Cancer burden in Africa is a very complicated issue. Many people present to the hospital with late stage disease due to the lack of awareness about symptoms, together with cultural and superstitious misconceptions.
The mission of Cancel Cancer Africa is;
·               To improve the knowledge of what signs and symptoms to look out for,
·               Carry out free screenings and
·               To encourage women go to see a doctor if any of these occur.
Being able to afford treatment is a huge challenge in Africa, so we work in partnership with the local health authorities to develop ways to fund treatments for any women that we find who needs further investigations or treatment, as well as work towards a long term plan to reduce breast cancer in Africa.
Over a two (2) weeks period (15th to 27th September 2014) we in collaboration with the Busia Government will be:
·               Visiting seven districts in Busia County in Kenya,
·               Giving information on Breast cancer and teaching self breast examinations,
·               Carrying out road shows in public places,
·               Performing Breast examinations and with your support Ultra-Sound.
·               Holding a Breast Cancer Awareness event.
·               Collating data for long term planning and monitoring.
Our objective is to reduce the rate of mortality and morbidity caused by Cancer in Africa. We need your support in many ways. If you’re a health worker we would love for you to come with us, if you not we need your enthusiasm and positive energy during this selfless journey. We have people showing interest from far away India, so why don’t you join us.
Please donate, help us reach our target, help us do more.
Cancel Cancer Africa is organised by a registered CIC in UK: Good for Africa Reg-09068784.
