ACCA's seeks to address addressing a number of anomalise of critical factors, POWARCE ensures every child has access to the lifesaving care they deserve.
Empowering Young Minds Through Education and Healing
At Action Child Cancer Africa (ACCA), we recognize that childhood cancer impacts not only physical health but education, emotional well-being, and the happiness of childhood. To tackle these issues, we initiated our Regional Libraries Project, which offers children in treatment access to educational materials, joyful, and a secure environment for learning and development.
Mission
Our Vision
ACCA, a charitable foundation, focuses on constructing a much-needed hospital in Africa. Our goal is to provide essential medical services to underserved communities, promoting health and well-being.
We believe no child should face cancer alone, and every child deserves the chance to fight, heal, and thrive. By addressing the unique challenges of childhood cancer in Africa, we are building a future of hope, healing, and resilience.
" Every child deserves a fighting chance and treating them allows me to make a profound impact in Ghana. Every child I treat is a testament to resilience, and every step forward in care delivery is a victory for equity in global health."
