Cancer is not waiting. Neither should we.
Across Africa, too many families are facing the reality of cancer with limited access to early detection, education, support, and innovative solutions. Behind every statistic is a mother, father, child, teacher, caregiver, or healthcare worker fighting to save a life.
That is why the Ellaniel Foundation Cancer Innovation & Research Challenge 2026 is calling on passionate problem-solvers to step forward.
We are looking for innovative ideas that can improve:
Cancer prevention
• Early detection
• Access to treatment
• Patient and family support systems
Whether you are a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, teacher, researcher, caregiver, engineer, software developer, student, or startup founder, your knowledge and experience could help create solutions that save lives.
We are also conducting a training needs survey for nurses, doctors, teachers, caregivers, and other frontline professionals. Your voice will help shape future workshops and training programs designed to strengthen cancer awareness, early detection, patient support, and community response.

The future of cancer care in Africa will not be built by one profession alone. It will be built by communities, innovators, healthcare workers, educators, and advocates working together.
• Because every life deserves a chance.
• Because early action saves lives.
• Because innovation must serve people.
