Welcome to Action Against Childhood Cancers Association (AACC), a beacon of hope founded in 2023 with an unwavering commitment to transforming the lives of children battling cancer in Cameroon. At AACC, we envision a future where every child not only survives but thrives, embracing a life of health and productivity beyond the shadows of cancer. Our mission is clear: to facilitate accessible and innovative solutions for the treatment and care of children with cancer and their families. Through groundbreaking research, advocacy, resource mobilization, and compassionate family support, we strive to improve awareness, ensure timely diagnosis and treatment, provide vital psychosocial support, guide survivors toward healthy lives, and contribute new scientific knowledge about childhood cancer. Join us on this journey of healing and empowerment as we stand united against childhood cancers, paving the way for a brighter and cancer-free future for the young souls we serve.
At AACC, we recognize the profound emotional and psychological impact of a childhood cancer diagnosis on families. Our Family Orientation and Counseling program is designed to guide families through every step of the journey, from diagnosis to recovery.
We provide:
Through these efforts, we ensure that no family feels alone, fostering a supportive environment where they can focus on helping their child recover and thrive.
Our approach begins at the grassroots level, engaging with the community through sensitization initiatives and workshops. We firmly believe that educating the population about early diagnosis and available treatment centers is pivotal to improving the survival outcomes for children with cancer.
We are guided by evidence-based practices, leveraging our research data alongside findings from renowned studies. By shaping our policies through these insights, we develop the most effective strategies to achieve our mission.
We are dedicated to supporting patients, their families, healthcare workers, and entire communities to ensure that every child with cancer receives the care they need to recover and thrive. By working collaboratively with all stakeholders, we strive to create a future where no child is left behind in their journey to health and well-being.
Childhood cancer remains a devastating reality for many families in Cameroon, where limited access to timely diagnosis and treatment significantly impacts survival rates. At Action Against Childhood Cancers Association (AACC), we recognize that every child deserves a chance to live a healthy, productive life, free from the burden of cancer.
Our work is driven by the urgent need to bridge the gap in childhood cancer care by improving access to treatment, raising awareness, and offering psychosocial support to families. We understand that early diagnosis and innovative treatment solutions are not just critical—they are lifesaving. By fostering collaborative partnerships, conducting impactful research, and advocating for better healthcare policies, we aim to dismantle the barriers that stand in the way of effective care.
We do this because every child’s life is invaluable, and no family should face the journey of childhood cancer alone. Together, we can create a future where children not only survive cancer but thrive beyond it, embracing the opportunities of a brighter tomorrow.
In 2023, we officially founded AACC, laying a strong foundation by defining our mission, vision, and goals to guide our efforts in combating childhood cancers in Cameroon.
In 2024, we established our head office, onboarded our first group of dedicated volunteers, and engaged in extensive community outreach to raise awareness and support for childhood cancer care.
In 2025, we aim to deploy our innovative data collection app across all treatment centers, enabling us to gather critical data to strengthen research and shape effective policies for better care outcomes.
