About SAUAC

Who We Are, What We Stand For

South Africa United Against Cancer NPO has been founded as an awareness and support organization to provide support to cancer patients and families affected by cancer through various educational and insightful activities other than conventional counselling.

SAUAC aligns with national and global cancer awareness efforts by educating patients, families, and the public about various types of cancer. As a wellness and advocacy organization, we seek partnerships with like-minded stakeholders to create meaningful impact in the fight against cancer.

We have had an overwhelming uptake in our awareness and educational campaign in the first year of our existence that our “walk for cancer” captured government and the national broadcaster to endorse, support as well as publicize the fun walk annually. We aim to expand our impact through various cancer-themed activities, including fundraising events, awareness campaigns, corporate wellness programs, educational awareness initiatives, and seminars. With the database we have developed, we intend to establish a reliable pipeline that connects survivors and patients with the nearest health centers for official screening and early detection.

Furthermore, provide professional support and counseling to assist patients and their families in navigating their cancer journey. SAUAC aims to establish a mobile information center equipped to offer pre- and post-testing counseling, deliver educational talks on cancer, conduct professional screenings for symptoms and early detection, facilitate formal referrals, arrange transportation to the nearest health clinic or hospital, and coordinate patient admission and handover to hospital transport programs at the nearest Hospitals.
