EMPOWERED! to help the poor
EMPOWERED! - The Cancer Advocacy Society of Malaysia (Persatuan Advokasi Kanser Malaysia) is a non-profit tax-exempt* organization registered as a society.
Our mission is to save lives, prevent cancer and serve the poor who are afflicted with cancer in Malaysia.
Cancer patients live in fear, in anger, in pain. They do not understand why this is happening.
Medical terms are frustrating and everyone has a word of advice, an opinion.
Poor patients cannot afford the anti-cancer tests and treatments, the extra money to get to the hospital. They can’t afford to stop working. They need hope and comforting.
EMPOWERED ! was formed primarily to help and assure the poor that cancer is NOT A DEATH SENTENCE.
