A Message from the CEO
Happy New Year from your friends at FCCT!
2019 promises exciting possibilities for FCCT thanks to the engagement of generous supporters like yourself. The October gala was an energizing affair with many new friends introduced to our inspiring mission.
With the funds raised, FCCT will be focusing on completing a 44-bed inpatient cancer ward on the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) campus in Moshi, Tanzania to provide cancer-specific care and treatment.
We know that one annual event won’t provide the resources necessary to complete this much needed unit so we will continue to seek funding from a variety of sources during 2019.
We’ve also been working with partners, such as Rotary Clubs, to help fund other phases of the cancer center, including a family care hostel to reduce abandonment of treatment, especially among children, which is a problem in Tanzania.
I am looking forward to sharing highlights from my recent visit to Tanzania where I had the chance to see firsthand the progress underway and the impact providers such as Dr. Furaha Serventi and Dr. Oliver Henke are having on the care of patients at the cancer care centre and in the remote villages and communities near Moshi.
As I reflect on 2018, I am filled with appreciation for your support of FCCT. Looking ahead to 2019, I am inspired knowing that together we are making progress and bringing hope for an improved quality of life to people with cancer.
