Malawi is a small country located in the Central part of Africa in the tropical region. Cancer in Malawi is increasing at a very high rate, currently there are over 10,000 new cases that are being diagnosed. Cancer Survivors Quest is one of organisations that was established in 2011 as a platform to promote the fight against cancer. in Malawi cancer is regarded as a new phenominom and very few people are aware about it, we dont have adequate medical personnel and facilities to treat it; only recently in 2018 has the Malawi Government embarked on building the first cancer Centre in Malawi.
The mission statement of the Network shall be to aid in the promotion and fight against Cancer through awareness. Enshrined in this is the principle of enhancing the lives of persons with Cancer and Cancer survivors by providing basic needs throughout the country through raising funds using various fundraising techniques.
The CSQ has many objectives which in time may change, but the network has core objectives and these are:
It's not easy to experience Cancer...be it from a personal perspective or through a loved one, but once you touch cancer, you can't help but change.
At Cancer Survivors Quest we are all volunteers dedicating our time, resources’ and energy to support cancer patients. This is one way we believe we can pay back to society.
All our efforts are done out of love, we love our country, our people and we share this love to all citizens of Malawi especially cancer patients and survivors.
Fighting against cancer is not simple nor easy so we teach perseverance to cancer patients, survivors and care givers. We also persevere in our work as we support the patients as we believe in not giving up on any patient.
A very important help in any fight including cancer is hope, hope is very important; with hope it allows healing and hope is contagious and can spread like wildfire.
Come and see our Mission in Pictures.
