Action Child Cancer Africa (ACCA)

Africa Child Cancer Africa (ACCA) is committed to transforming childhood cancer care across Africa. By tackling the key challenges that lead to low survival rates, we bring hope, healing, and holistic care to children and families affected by cancer.

To ensure ongoing support while ACCA completes its charitable registration, we have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Projects Abroad Foundation, as well as an MOU with IMPACT Projects Abroad, their NGO in Ghana. During this period, all contributions made to Projects Abroad Foundation and IMPACT Projects Abroad Ghana will directly support ACCA’s initiatives, enabling us to continue our vital work.
