The Life's Second Chance foundation was born with a vision of creating a world where people suffering from cancer get the best medical help and attention. By establishing hospitals and research centers, patients can be treated with dignity, comfort and hope.
The Life's Second Chance Foundation Hospital's appeal was launched in 2005. With your generosity and support, the hope is to raise funds to equip and furnish the first ever cancer care and research training center in Ethiopia with the most up-to-date medical equipment. These facilities will ensure that thousands of cancer victims and their families have access to services, treatments, support and education. At present, with no care facilities, they have no alternative but to live and die with their cancer.
