Overview

Mission

Wrap Up Africa is both a social enterprise and a foundation benefiting cancer patients in East Africa.

What it reported doing in 2013

Wrap Up Africa works to improve the lives of cancer patients in Africa by increasing knowledge about cancer and providing cancer patients with access to the best possible treatment and supportive care in order to control pain, improve quality of life, and extend survival. We accomplish this through our various programs.Worldwide, 12.4 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year, and more than half of those cases are in the developing world.80% of Africans do not have access to healthcare and the majority live on less than one dollar a day, making the costs of cancer care insurmountable.70% of the global cancer burden will be in the developing world by 2030.60% of all new cancer cases are occurring in the developing world.
