Raisa Gorbachev Foundation

Our Purpose

Our Purpose

At the core of our work is the provision of direct support to those who can make a difference in the lives of young cancer patients. The Foundation has contributed on both an institutional and an individual level. From furnishing hospitals with life-saving equipment to funding specialist care, we aim to transform the diagnosis from a death-sentence to a life process.

WHAT WE DO

The Foundation has identified five areas to maximise the use of the funds we raise for our Cancer Control and Beyond Therapy programmes.

Therapy - funding treatments when financial barriers stand in the way

Research - investing in innovative approaches to combat and control cancer

Equipment - furnishing institutes with essential equipment and infrastructure

Advocacy - influencing key players and promoting better understanding

Training – investing in those professionals who make a real difference

As the Foundation develops, the geographic reach is increasing.  It is our aim that every grant awarded has a global application and world-wide implications.

The lives of hundreds of young patients have been touched by the Foundation’s contribution. With the support of the Foundation, doctors have access to cancer treatments and modern diagnostic equipment otherwise unavailable to them.
