About HACF
Horn Africa Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the health landscape across the Horn of Africa. We are committed to reducing the burden of cancer and bleeding disorders through education, early detection, advocacy, capacity building and support services tailored to local community needs.
Our primary focus includes addressing the most prevalent cancers in the region—such as breast, cervical, prostate, colorectal, liver and esophageal cancer—as well as improving the recognition, diagnosis and management of inherited bleeding disorders including haemophilia, von Willebrand disease and rare coagulation deficiencies.
Early detection saves lives · 100% free community screenings
Our foundation was established in response to the growing burden of cancer and bleeding disorders, limited awareness, delayed diagnosis and lack of access to quality, specialized services across the region. We aim to bridge these gaps by working hand-in-hand with communities, health professionals, governments and international partners.
Community-driven empowerment across Kenya and Somalia
