Eddah’s Hope Cancer Foundation is a cancer awareness that focuses on the youth and young adults between the ages of 20 and 45 years old. It was founded in 2012 by Moses Issaji after the loss of his mother to breast cancer.
Before the death of his mother, Issaji was living life like every other young adult. Chasing his career as an aviator and hanging out with his friends when time allowed. After his mother passed on, he started a Facebook page where he would share his experience as well as new information that he learnt about cancer.
Over the years, the organization has grown from just being a Facebook page to a full blown organization, based in Nairobi.
We have also diversified our focus from only focusing creating awareness to patient support, focusing on breast cancer. We have been able to distribute mastectomy kits to deserving breast cancer survivors to 420 women between 2018 and 2020 in 6 counties.
