Burkitt's Lymphoma Fund for Africa

Mission

BLFA's mission is to help cure children in Africa with cancer.

Description

BLFA believes that every child, no matter where they live, deserves the same access and services to cure their cancer. BLFA is a non-profit volunteer organization that provides grants to local NGOs and healthcare partners in Africa who work directly with families and cancer patients. With our partners, we advocate for what these children and their families need focusing on medical, logistical, and social support so that children can complete curative treatment and return home.
