Greetings from Faraja Cancer Support Trust.
You are receiving this as a contributor to the Faraja Medical Support Fund or because we feel that you maybe interested in knowing more about the Fund. For more details on the Fund please click here
For the eight years that Faraja has been in existence, we have witnessed many patients leave our facility feeling better than when they walked in. The need and role for information, complementary therapies and support groups, cannot be understated. A special thanks to our staff, volunteers and therapists for ensuring that patients and their carers receive hope, help and life through our free services.
However, the need for timely and good medical intervention is still paramount, especially now that the number of patients diagnosed with cancer has risen from 20,000 to 40,000 annually. You can read more about the cancer scene in Kenya here.
We are delighted to share with you that out of our initial target of Shs100m for the Fund we have raised Shs83m to date. The Trustees of Faraja would like to thank everyone who has made this possible.
We are also delighted to celebrate new partnerships with cancer organisations, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies who have come on board to assist us by offering treatment at a reduced cost or donating medication for treatment.
It is now, more than ever, that we need to do our bit to help patients like Jane, who can now confidently complete her treatment thanks to the support she received from the Fund. Read more about her here
With your support we would like to accelerate the pace at which we can save lives and reduce suffering by helping patients get access to healthcare. All gifts into the fund will be invested and the interest earned will ensure patients receive the right treatment at the right time.
I welcome the opportunity to talk with any individual or company who would like to become involved. We believe strongly that no one should have to face cancer alone.
Please share this newsletter with others who may want to support this project.
Thank you all for your support.
