Challenge

Women diagnosed with cancer in Ghana often face overwhelming costs for diagnostics, chemotherapy, surgery, medications, and transportation. With little or no health insurance coverage, many families exhaust their savings within weeks. As a result, treatment is delayed, interrupted, or stopped entirely-turning treatable cancers into fatal ones.

Solution

This project provides immediate financial and logistical support to women diagnosed with cancer, covering urgent treatment, medication, and transportation costs. By removing these barriers early, it enables women to start and continue treatment without delay, improving survival and preventing avoidable deaths.

Long-Term Impact

Over time, this project will reduce cancer-related deaths among women by ensuring timely access to care. It will lessen the economic burden on families, improve treatment outcomes, and strengthen community trust in cancer care-creating healthier women and stronger families in Ghana.
