WHO WE ARE
FCCT was founded in 2013 to help address the overwhelming need for cancer care in Tanzania. Among its founding visionaries were doctors who have worked in northern Tanzania for decades and seen firsthand the plight facing individuals with cancer in this region of the world.
The Foundation for Cancer Care in Tanzania (FCCT) is a Minnesota based 501 (c) (3) nonprofit. All donations are tax deductible.
