A Pen For Africa (APFAF) was founded by a cancer survivor who, after overcoming the disease, felt compelled to help others affected by cancer and chronic illnesses. Drawing from her own experiences, legal background, and extensive research, she established APFAF as an NGO focused on disseminating knowledge, providing support, and raising awareness about the intersections of health, climate, environment, human rights, and social issues. APFAF’s work includes night psychosocial care sessions for patients and has expanded to address the interconnected challenges of health, gender-based violence, youth economic empowerment, and more, adopting a holistic approach to disease management and health challenges.
