Our Services
To achieve its goal and mission, The Foundation will coordinate and collaborate with other relevant local NGOs and the Ministry of Health to organize and promote cancer prevention activities which includes public awareness campaigns on different types of cancers, emphasizing lifestyle and health seeking behaviors. Early screening will be promoted based on the cancer and the target population. The Foundation will invest in Information, Education, and communication (IEC) using social media and other appropriate mediums that can reach a wide cross-section of the Belizean populace at a low cost.
In addition, the Foundation will foster and adopt a caring environment that is rooted in the protection and well-being of clients and their family who have suffered or are suffering from the psycho-emotional effects of living with cancer. A client-centered approach will be the focus when interacting with clients. While The Foundation is not set up to directly support treatment cost, the philosophy of the Foundation is based on universal health, and as much as possible, will seek to help to advise clients and support them in navigating access to appropriate services based on their needs and economic situation.
Annually the Foundation based on referrals, will provide Christmas food hampers to persons with caners and their family. This service is extended to those cancer patients living throughout the country
