Friends of Africa is a nonprofit organization working to improve women’s access to high-quality, affordable cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment services across Africa. Its primary objective is to reduce deaths from cervical and breast cancers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. The organization supports this mission through knowledge transfer, infrastructure development, and implementation science research, with an emphasis on making effective cancer care more accessible.

Friends of Africa works to strengthen women’s cancer services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Zambia, Sierra Leone, and Rwanda. Its activities focus on expanding opportunities for early detection and treatment, helping build the knowledge and infrastructure needed to deliver care. The organization also shares information about women’s cancers and its work through its website and podcast, and invites supporters to contribute, spread awareness, and subscribe for updates. Based in Fairfield, Alabama, Friends of Africa connects its nonprofit mission with efforts to improve medical services for women in African communities.
