Story
Cancel Cancer Africa is a UK registered charity working to reduce the rate of mortality and morbidity caused by Cancer in Africa. Our charity currently operates in two African countries, Kenya and Nigeria. We operate in Africa through our registered charity: Nigeria (Lift Above Cancer NGO) and collaborate with Orion medical centre in Kenya. Our medical and non-medical personnel’s volunteer from England, Canada, and New Zealand, as well as other countries in Africa.
We currently employ full time registered Nurses and community health workers who work door to door visiting the rural communities educating the people about the early signs and symptoms of Cancer.
Since 2014, we have been visiting Ethiopia, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria. In 2017, we made a strategic five-year decision to only focus on two African countries, Kenya and Nigeria.
We decided to setup a free health centre in Nigeria, which would set as a model for future centres across Africa. In 2017 we laid the first brick towards this centre.
Part of our 5-year plan is to offer general medical checks and free medications for common diagnosis in Africa. This method has made the local people to respond more positively to our free services. We welcome organisations, governments and concerned individuals to collaborate with us to do more in rural Africa.
