Projects
Uganda Cancer Trust UK is a young charity with big plans. We want our funding makes a big impact, so we are focusing on two areas to start with.
1. Cancer treatment
We support individuals who need treatments that are either not available in Uganda or are prohibitively expensive. In each case there must be evidence that the treatment will significantly improve the chance of survival and is not provided by the Government.
Our current campaign is for Lydia, a young mother and lawyer who is suffering from HER2 breast cancer.
2. Partnerships
Uganda Cancer Trust UK is a UK based charity raising money to improve cancer treatment and care in Uganda. We do not implement projects on the ground – we think that local people and organisations are far better placed to do this.
We are looking for Ugandan organisations providing palliative care, information and support for cancer sufferers, or education about cancer to work with us and identify what resources they need.
Future projects
In the future we would like to expand the scope of our activities. Potential projects include providing a space for cancer sufferers and their family to use while they are at the hospital, increasing the number of people we are supporting, and raising awareness internationally of the issues around cancer treatment in Uganda and other African countries.
We need your help to raise the money to take these forward!
