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.

organised by a registered CIC in UK: Good for Africa Reg-09068784.
