You can support these specific areas of CANSA’s work, listed below, per area of need and contact the responsible staff member. Your donation will enable us to keep on supporting those who have been affected by cancer. General online donations towards CANSA’s work may be made on the CANSA Website. We are so thankful to be making a difference in the lives of those we serve through our Tele Counselling service, launched 2 years ago on Mandela Day.
