Every Child Deserves A Fighting Chance Against Cancer
Transforming Childhood Cancer Care in Africa
Action Child Cancer Africa is dedicated to transforming childhood cancer care in West Africa, addressing the critical challenges that contribute to low survival rates in the region. Your donations play a vital role in making this change possible.
The survical rate of childhood malignancies in Africa is alarmingly as low as 20% or less, compared to 95-97% in higher income countries
The Paediatric Oncology West African Regional Centre of Excellence (POWARCE)
Our Flagship Project
At the heart of Action Child Cancer Africa’s mission is POWARCE, a transformative initiative committed to improving survival rates for childhood cancer in middle and lower-income countries across West Africa. Through a comprehensive approach addressing critical factors, POWARCE ensures every child has access to the lifesaving care they deserve.
Empowering Young Minds Through Education and Healing
At Action Child Cancer Africa (ACCA), we understand that childhood cancer affects more than just physical health—it disrupts education, emotional well-being, and the joy of childhood. To address these challenges, we launched our Regional Libraries Project, providing children undergoing treatment with access to educational resources, joyful escapism, and a safe space to learn and grow.
" Every child deserves a fighting chance and treating them allows me to make a profound impact in Ghana. Every child I treat is a testament to resilience, and every step forward in care delivery is a victory for equity in global health."
