Northern Cancer Care Organization · Pre-launch
Connecting People.
Advancing Cancer Care.
Saving Lives.
NCCO is a Kenyan non-profit in its pre-launch phase, working with government, healthcare providers, researchers and international partners to build connected, accountable cancer care for Northern Kenya. Our organization launch is planned for December 2026, followed by our proposed 2027–2029 programme strategy.
Why we exist
No one should have to
navigate cancer alone.
NCCO is in its pre-launch phase — building the governance, partnerships and programme foundations needed before services begin. Cancer care is about more than treatment. It is about understanding your options, finding the right support and feeling connected at every step.
NCCO is a pre-launch Kenyan non-profit whose vision begins with an informed Northern Kenya and access to timely prevention, early detection, quality care and support. Its 2027–2029 strategy brings together communities, healthcare professionals and partners, with an ambition to expand across Kenya.
