OUR HISTORY

The Faraja Cancer Support Trust was founded in 2010 with the aim of providing emotional, practical and healing support to anyone affected by cancer. We offer cancer patients and their carers information, advice, counselling and complementary therapies in order to make their cancer journey a little more manageable.

We work alongside several institutions and hospitals that offer conventional cancer treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. We aim to take our patients beyond medical treatment through offering them a holistic approach to coping with the challenges of cancer.

WHY SHOULD I HOST A KBCM?

Cancer in Kenya is the 3rd cause of mortality after infectious and cardiovascular diseases. With over 80% of cancer cases being diagnosed when in the late stages and affordable treatment being difficult to access, awareness is key in the fight against cancer. KBCM is an engaging and exciting way of spreading the message of early detection and treatment.

Some other reasons why people host a KBCM:

• Easy to execute – whether in Kenya or overseas.
• A fun way to involve and teach children the importance of philanthropy.
• Works well as a company networking event which gives staff the opportunity to learn from expert cancer speakers.
• To engage clients in a different way.
• To support Faraja and make a difference to those living with cancer in Kenya.
• To remember a loved one who has gone through cancer.
