Hope Beyond Cancer Trust
Reach to Recovery, Kenya is build on a simple yet universal principle; that one woman who has experienced breast cancer herself gives freely of her time and experience to assist and support another woman with breast cancer. Their goal is to reach every woman in Kenya irrespective of race or religion in order to bring awareness and education on breast cancer from the survivor's point of view. This we believe will help those who have not yet been diagnosed to seek medical help and those undergoing treatment, psychological and moral support.
Reach to Recovery's main activities include: giving psychological support to patients either in hospitals or in their homes before and after mastectomies, creating awareness on breast cancer through workshops and seminars, lobbying for government support for a provision of affordable breast cancer, training volunteer survivors countrywide to help establish a network and giving relevant information on cancer from adapted literate from Reach for Recovery, South Africa.
Reach for Recovery Kenya became associate UICC in June, 2009.
