About Kencras Foundation
In Kenya, 70 – 80% of patients are diagnosed with cancer and renal disease and are recommended for treatment at an advanced stage (KEMRI Regis-try) and this is attributed to low awareness of symptoms and of availability of cancer treatment; low rate of treatment acceptance and adherence because of challenges of geographical access and use of alternative therapy instead of conventional therapies; low index of suspicion by health providers.
But we are working to change this and save more lives
Our Goal
To lead and support Cancer awareness, screening and treatment across the country and to advance
in knowledge to save lives and give people an opportunity for longer, healthier lives..
Our Mission
To help the Kenyan community whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by Cancer and Renal Disease that afflict the most vulnerable, the poor who cannot afford even the most basic health care.
We are targeting the communities that have little or no awareness about the importance of medical checkups; by creating a broad spectrum of awareness campaigns on the importance of regulate checkups, early screening, diagnosis and early intervention, while subsidizing their costs for treatment
