Zurak Cancer Foundation

We have successfully completed our selection process out of the high numbers we recorded for the interview session. We are so excited about the candidates we selected for the One Year Volunteer Program. We have selected individuals with exceptional qualities and commitment to change. Based on our selection, we developed a strategy to have control over the southern, middle and northern belt of the country as we are looking forward to capture the whole of Ghana when we are 5 years in operation. Next year, we will be 4 years and we strongly believe this is the best beginning.

We made our impact generations based on our social media reach for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp and impact generated from the Breast Cancer Awareness Program in collaboration with So Social Multimedia. Unfortunately, we couldn’t push forward our sub initiative and signature event (Market Invasion) for Breast Cancer due to delays from our partners but all the same we are excited about the impact we keep making into the lives of Ghanaians. Find the breakdown of the impact generation below:

Next year, we would be providing the opportunity to twenty (20) young people to participate in our endeavors. As part of our transition, we have designed a comprehensive volunteer program for young people who would like to make an impact into their societies. This program is expected to provide the platform for young people to gain first hand experience in organizational management, networking and policy design for high impact initiatives to solve the problems of the society.
