Cancer Fundraising

Parents are being forced to skip meals so that their children can eat, sometimes not eating for days themselves. Children are being taken out of school to work to earn money, or to be sent to beg in nearby towns.

Non-profit organizations and advocacy groups continue to play a vital role in supporting cancer patients. Programs focused on education, emotional support, and financial assistance are making a tangible impact on the lives of individuals and families affected by cancer.

Other factors, such as year on year droughts in the horn of Africa, locust storms destroying crops, internal conflict in Ethiopia, and floods and droughts across the Sahel were already having a devastating impact on people’s lives, families, health, and livelihoods.
