Breast cancer kills thousands of women every year in Africa, but you have the power to change this reality today!
According to a recent report by the World Health Organization, 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, and 670,000 lost their lives, making this disease one of the most widespread and feared globally. Behind these numbers are stories of resilience, families fighting, and communities rallying in support. At Transfergratis, we understand this fight knows no borders. That’s why, this October, we’re committed to helping you support your loved ones in this vital cause.
I - Supporting medical care through money transfers
Breast cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal breast cells that form tumors, affecting women of all ages from puberty onward. As the most common and deadliest cancer in women, it demands continuous support. Transfergratis provides an easy and effective solution for financial aid by enabling free, instant money transfers from Canada to multiple African countries.
In Africa, women diagnosed with breast cancer face significant financial challenges, particularly for treatments like chemotherapy and surgery, which are often very expensive. Regular check-ups and consultations with oncologists also add to the burden. Transfergratis steps in by allowing people to send financial help quickly and securely, helping patients start their treatments without delay.
An example is Marie, a 42 year old Beninese woman, whose life changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Forced to stop working, she faced mounting medical bills and daily expenses for her children. Thankfully, her cousin in Canada sent her financial help through Transfergratis, allowing her to afford chemotherapy and medications. This aid was more than just financial—it was a message of love and support that gave her the strength to continue fighting. Now, Marie is recovering and has even returned to work.
Transfergratis also plays a crucial role in supporting humanitarian organizations dedicated to breast cancer causes.
II - Support for associations and organizations
Many organizations in Africa fight daily to improve the lives of women with breast cancer. These groups provide medical care, organize awareness campaigns to educate communities, and offer psychological support to patients and their families. Their role is essential in the battle against cancer, especially in regions with limited access to treatment and insufficient financial resources. You can make a difference through donations.
Transfergratis simplifies the donation process to humanitarian organizations, offering a fast and efficient service to support causes close to your heart. Unlike traditional transfer methods that can be costly and slow, the app allows you to securely and freely transfer money to charities in Africa at the current exchange rate. You can choose between mobile money transfers or bank deposits, with processing times usually not exceeding one business day, allowing organizations to use these resources immediately.
