Fifty vulnerable single mothers in Kenya are facing breast or cervical cancer while struggling to support their children. Without affordable health insurance, accessing cancer treatment can become an overwhelming financial burden. We are raising $3,000 to help cover one year of Social Health Authority (SHA) insurance premiums for 50 women across five counties in Kenya.
In Kenya, breast and cervical cancers are the leading causes of cancer related deaths among women.The low class is most affected.For single and needy mothers,a cancer diagnosis is like a death sentence because of the cost of treatment. Kenya's mandatory Social Health Authority (SHA) scheme requires consistent annual premiums to unlock treatment benefits.Without a steady income due to illness, these mothers cannot afford the USD 60 annual renewal fee. They have children who solely depend on them.
We shall fully fund annual SHA insurance premiums for 50 vulnerable single mothers across 5 highly affected counties in Kenya in the next 3 months. With support, we can reach more women. By covering these premiums, we instantly unlock their access to comprehensive government subsidized cancer treatments, including essential diagnostic imaging, chemotherapy cycles, surgical operations, and prescription medications. We shall remove this gap which disrupts treatment, we shall prolong their lives.
By helping 50 vulnerable mothers maintain health insurance, we aim to improve access to cancer treatment, reduce financial hardship, and prevent medical debt. This support can improve health outcomes, strengthen family stability, and protect children's well-being and education. Through this initiative, we hope to reduce suffering and premature deaths while strengthening community-led health solutions across five counties in Kenya, empowering families to build more secure and hopeful futures.
