About This Cause
Egypt cancer Network 57357 and AFNCI (ECN) is a U.S.-based tax-deductible, non-profit 501c3. Through chapters spread all across North America (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, North Carolina…), ECN has the mission to provide resources to Egyptian hospitals and non-profit organizations focused on cancer in the areas of patient care, scientific advancement, and education. ECN’s vision is to give the opportunity for a cure and the highest quality of life to all Egyptian cancer patients. The idea of establishing a U.S.-based fundraising entity for the support of Egyptian cancer patients emerged back in 2008. Many Egyptian Americans were expressing their desire to be of support to their motherland, Egypt. Some of them, enthusiastic and inspired by their visit to the newly established state-of-the-art Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt (CCHE)57357, returned to the U.S. vowing to promote its support among families and friends. The CCHE 57357, ECN’s main partner and beneficiary, was gaining worldwide recognition being the largest and busiest freestanding cancer hospital in the world where the provision of comprehensive care and quality healthcare services is free of charge for all children with cancer without discrimination. Realizing that rising competition within a fast-growing charities sector threatened the number of funds it would be able to collect locally over the years, the CCHE administration worked to establish a U.S.-based fundraising entity, which became formally registered in June 2011. ECN pursued sponsoring institutions selected on the basis of their impact on cancer care, education, research, and advocacy, namely: Hospital 57357, the Association of Friends of the National Cancer Institute, (AFNCI), Allied Diseases (FCC), and U.S. teaching Hospitals. ECN is looking to realize 4 main objectives through its fundraising efforts: improving cancer care in Egypt and the region, providing stimulus to the Egyptian economy, advancing specialization to pediatric oncology healthcare professionals, and providing jobs to thousands of people over the short and long terms.
