END CHILDHOOD CANCER
To advance childhood cancer treatment in Cameroon through financial support, education, training and awareness.
Our MISSION
237 CCF provides financial and educational support to children with cancer and their families. The main objective behind this initiative is to expand access to cancer treatment for all children in Cameroon and increase survival rate. We won’t rest until no child dies from cancer due to lack of resources.
WELCOME
237 CCF was founded in 2022 by a breast cancer patient. Though the side effects of chemotherapy were overwhelming, she gained perspective. She was grateful for all the resources available to her, but heartbroken by the plight of the most vulnerable - children battling cancer in Cameroon who may not have the necessary resources to improve their chances of survival or make coping with cancer a little easier.
We are thankful to our partners, donors, volunteers and staff both in Cameroon and the United States for their unwavering support.

How we started
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, my world fell apart. A health enthusiast, the diagnosis surely was a shock. My 2 young kids were the only thing on her mind. How was I going to navigate this horrific disease? Fortunately, my medical team was God sent - from the first visit with the surgeon to weekly encounters with my oncology team. Cancer took a toll on my mind, body and soul but not my spirit. I had God on my side and so much love around me. Tears welled up each time I was connected to the chemotherapy infusion – tears of gratitude for the care I received from the medical staff. I also shed tears of sadness as I couldn’t help but think about my fellow mates in Cameroon who may be going through a similar ordeal but do not have the level of care I have. If this disease is so devastating to an adult how much more to a child? It was during these chemo sessions that I had a clear vision to help children with cancer in Cameroon.
