What we do

Six ways we work.

We do not only talk about the problem. We organise people to do something about it.

01Awareness

Awareness, Advocacy & Campaigns

We take cancer information into communities, schools, universities and digital spaces — so people learn, understand and act.

02Support

Patient & Survivor Support

No one should face cancer alone. We connect patients and survivors to support, information and the people who can help.

03Support

Medication Access & Global Partnerships

We build partnerships with hospitals, pharmacies, pharmaceutical and biotechnology organisations to find practical ways of improving access to cancer medicines.

04Research

Research

Africa cannot depend entirely on solutions developed for other populations. We support research that answers questions relevant to African communities.

05Innovation

Education & Innovation

We train the next generation of advocates, researchers and innovators — and explore how technology can make prevention, research and care more accessible.

Chapters & Fellowship

Our campus chapters and the AAC Fellowship turn students into cancer advocates who educate their peers and lead change in their own communities.

Get involved

We do not only talk about the problem. We organise people to do something about it.

Whether you are a student, a health professional, a researcher, a survivor or someone who simply wants to help — there is a role for you.
