In Nigeria, over 100,000 new cancer cases are reported yearly, yet many patients live in poverty and struggle to afford food while undergoing treatment. Malnutrition weakens the body, reduces tolerance to chemotherapy, and worsens survival chances. This project will supply daily nutritious meals to cancer patients in hospitals and low-income households. Timely food support will reduce hunger, improve treatment adherence, and restore strength to those fighting cancer.
Cancer patients in Nigeria face both medical and economic struggles. Many cannot work during treatment, and families often exhaust savings on hospital bills. As a result, food becomes unaffordable. Malnutrition makes treatment harder to tolerate, weakens immunity, and shortens survival. Without reliable nutrition, even patients who manage to access chemotherapy often lose their strength and are forced to abandon treatment altogether.
The project will provide daily meals for cancer patients both in hospitals and in their homes. By supplying balanced food packs, patients can maintain strength during treatment, recover faster, and continue care without interruption. Food distribution will be coordinated with hospitals and community volunteers to reach those most in need. This practical support will reduce treatment abandonment caused by hunger and improve patient wellbeing.
Consistent access to food will help cancer patients maintain health during treatment, avoid life-threatening malnutrition, and increase survival chances. Families already struggling with medical expenses will have relief from food costs, reducing financial stress. In the long run, this project will create a sustainable meal support system for vulnerable patients, showing that survival depends not only on medicine but also on nutrition.
