Africa Cancer Care Inc was founded in 2005 as a result of the looming cancer predictions for Africa by the World Health Organization and other International health bodies. Africa, a continent of developing countries is ill equipped for the devastation that will be wroth by cancer by the year 2020. Africa lacks the infrastructure, expertise, and technology to halt cancer in its track. This is compounded by the complete lack of cancer awareness that exist in the various communities of Africa. People still think cancer is a consequence of the evil spirit.
Other compounding factors include:
ACCI takes the fight against cancer to Lagos State, Nigeria. Lagos is one of the Western States of Nigeria. It is the most populated State in the country. Our efforts will be concentrated in the rural areas within the State. 2010 spring mission will focus on public education and screening for breast, cervical and colon cancers. For the first time, we plan to focus heavily on colon cancer since March is colon cancer awareness month. Prevention, Key to Cancer control! You can make a difference in the life of others by volunteering or donating to the mission. You can donate on our website or call our office @ 713-995-8000. You can also reach us via email at info@africacancercareinc.org to show your support. Help us save lives.
Colon cancer is a very preventable disease yet it continues to pose a serious threat to people all over the world. Over 100,000 cases occur in the United States every year. The incidence is equally high among all races and affects both males and females in similar proportions. ACCI is dedicated to early detection and prevention of all preventable cancers. ACCI promotes awareness and screening for colon cancer. Please support our efforts of colon cancer prevention in the month of March (March is dedicated to colon cancer awareness) by donating to the cause. You can also walk with us during the 7th Annual New York Colon Cancer Challenge at the Central Park in New York, on March 28, 2010 at 9:00 am.
