Eddah’s Hope Cancer Foundation is dedicated to empowering the young adults to sensitize their peers, the needy and marginalized in Kenya on the prevention, management and treatment of cancer. This is through the creation of interactive social platforms, where young adults can share and learn from each other and get equipped with the information to play this important role.
We promote a preventative culture involving a change of lifestyle and frequent checkups leading to early detection and reduction of mortality cases. To this end, the foundation therefore incorporates young adult’s friendly activities.
Eddah’s Hope Cancer Foundation encourages young adults’ support, involvement and contribution towards the fight against cancer, through promotion of innovative, fun and interactive activities as well pushing for change in legislation as a sure way of influencing behavior change among the young adults
