About CFC
Built to close the gap between referral and care.
We are a South African nonprofit that turns community generosity into practical access for cancer patients facing financial hardship.
Our reason for being
A cancer diagnosis can become a race against time. Yet for many South Africans, cost, geography and long waiting lists stand between a referral and the next essential step.
Care for Cancer Foundation exists to change that. We create pathways to medical diagnostics and practical patient support by bringing together patients, families, clinicians, providers, donors and responsible partners. We serve irrespective of race, colour or creed and protect the dignity of every person who approaches us.
