The incidence and prevalence of blood cancers has increased over the years, being the 5th most common type of cancer in the UK, and Leukaemia CARE has therefore developed and expanded an impressive range of services to help address the needs of our patients and their families to provide practical care and support in every way we can.

LGBT VOICE is a registered national Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) organization working to advance equality, diversity, education, and justice for LGBT people in Tanzania. In 2009, a group of LGBT Africans in Dar es Salaam founded LGBT VOICE out of a desire for a more just society that values diversity, where discrimination does not exist, where people live fully with pride and confidence, and celebrate their unique strengths. Gays, Lesbians, Transgendered and Bisexual Tanzanians simply seek, and deserve, the same things all Tanzanians do: to take care of each other and our families; to have good jobs; to support our neighbourhoods; to publicly serve our local, national, and religious communities. Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly in direct aid to individuals in crisis, health care access, political advocacy, and education/media. Our latest and most ambitious project is the creation of the nation’s first free LGBT-friendly clinic in Dar es Salaam. It will serve 500 Tanzanians who currently are not able to access health care because of homophobia and discrimination. The clinic will provide counseling, HIV prevention, and treatment
