About the Foundation

Their goal is to assist folks in Africa who require medical care. Since kidney disorders, HIV/AIDS, malaria, kidney cancer, and other conditions of a similar nature are avoidable, our approach is to provide treatment, social services, and other awareness-raising activities to assist those who are coping with these illnesses before they reach an irreversible stage.

The organization's objective is to establish a network of resources that will assist the people of Africa who are afflicted with these illnesses and other connected disorders. They have representation in Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, and the United States.

Kidney Cancer

is a kind of cancer that affects the kidney's cells. The kidney's cells are growing abnormally quickly, which is what causes the cancer. In order to repair damaged cells following an injury or to develop to replace worn-out cells, our bodies are constantly producing new cells. All malignancies are produced by mutations in the genes that regulate these processes.

Has not spread to the kidney from somewhere else. It is mostly a disease seen in adults of over 40 years.
