Since 1997, the Ethiopian Cancer Association has grown from a handful of families into a nationwide community fighting cancer together.
We began when a small group of survivors and doctors refused to let families face cancer alone. Today we connect patients to care, teach communities the early signs, and stand beside every person on their journey — regardless of who they are or where they live.
To advance cancer awareness, early detection, and compassionate support so every Ethiopian can access the care they deserve.
An Ethiopia where cancer is caught early, treated with dignity, and no patient or family walks the journey alone.
The principles behind every screening, every visit, every gift.
We meet every patient with dignity, warmth, and respect — care that feels like family.
Every birr is accounted for. 92% of program funds go straight to patient services.
Survivors, families and volunteers shape our work. Change grows from the ground up.
A group of survivors and physicians establish the Association to support cancer patients and their families.
Reaching tens of thousands with early-detection education across regions and languages.
Covering transport, lodging and treatment costs for families who could not otherwise afford care.
Free screenings reach rural communities for the first time, catching cancer earlier where it matters most.
A nationwide network of 4,200+ volunteers and donors across 12 regions — and still growing.
The dedicated leaders, healthcare professionals, and coordinators driving our movement across Ethiopia.
Your support turns awareness into screenings, and screenings into second chances.
