Every year, millions of people in Africa suffer from life-threatening and chronic illnesses, and the majority of them do not have access to quality palliative care

Donations, however large or small, are vital to African Palliative Care Association's ongoing work. Consider making a personal or corporate donation today to enable us to improve the quality of life for people with life-threatening illnesses, their families and their carers in Africa.
