SAFARI YA TUMAINI ©
Cancer is a growing crisis in Tanzania, with over 42,000 new cases and 28,000 deaths annually. Poverty remains the greatest barrier to care, forcing patients—especially from rural areas—to travel 450–600 km to reach treatment. Once they arrive, many have no safe place to live while attending clinics, struggle to afford daily meals, and lack even the most basic patient kits such as sanitary pads or hygiene supplies. As a result, most patients experience delays in reaching treatment centers, many do not return for follow-up, and others face stigma when traveling on public buses particularly those suffering from cervical, colorectal, or breast cancer. In addition, the lack of nutritious meals undermines their ability to withstand comprehensive treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, leading to poor outcomes. For families living in poverty, the burden of distance, cost, stigma, and lack of support makes accessing lifesaving care nearly impossible.
To make Giving Tuesday 2025 a day of compassion and unity — helping ensure that no cancer patient in Tanzania misses treatment due to lack of transport, food, or accommodation.
Safari ya Tumaini (Journey of Hope) provides:
-
Safe and dignified transport to and from treatment centers
-
Temporary safe accommodation for patients and caregivers
-
Nutrition and hygiene support kits during the treatment period
Every donation makes a real difference — turning every kilometer into a journey of hope.
