Children Living with Cancer Foundation
(CLWCF) is Nigeria only childhood cancer advocacy/funding organization. It’s
Non-Governmental and Not for Profit Organization. They’ve in the past 14 years
engaged in providing medications and where applicable living expenses for
children living with cancer and their families. Their efforts have helped in
saving lives of sufferers of childhood cancers with some of them now
volunteering as ambassadors in the awareness campaigns and public enlightenment
programme of the foundation.
Painfully many childhood cancer
sufferers have died even when they have hopes of survival but needed just a
little more funding beyond The Foundation efforts could take them. It’s in the
light of this that Children Living with Cancer Foundation have created a forum
for discussion on raising awareness about childhood cancer with a theme:
PASSION FOR LIFE.
It’s a gathering of socially
responsible individuals and organizations to discuss the need for concerted
efforts at helping to save lives of childhood cancer sufferers, and make all
stakeholders come to the realization that cancer is curable and not a death
sentence. With much collective efforts, the survival rate of childhood cancer
sufferers in Nigeria can be pushed to 10:10 from the present 1:10 ratio.
According to Dr. Nneka Nwobbi – The Founder of the
Foundation, the event will hold on July 21st, 2017 at The Little
Theatre Hall of Lagos Country Club, Joel Ogunaike Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos at
11am. Many discussants are expected at this event among who is Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety
Agency (NIMASA).And it will be chaired by Erelu Abiola Dosunmu. Attendees
expected include individuals and representatives of organizations with very
resounding corporate social responsibility records.
