In a significant show of support for breast cancer awareness and treatment in Comoros, Moroni Terminal, a local company, has donated $1.5 million to the Association Comorienne de Lutte Contre le Cancer (Accf). The donation, driven by the company's female employees, aims to bolster the association's activities in sensitization, prevention, and support for patients. This contribution comes as part of a growing mobilization against breast cancer in the country.

The donation ceremony took place on October 30, during which Moroni Terminal handed over a check to Accf. The company's administrative and financial manager, Fatma Dada, expressed her gratitude to the association for its tireless efforts in supporting Comorian women. She emphasized the importance of backing the association's daily fight against breast cancer, highlighting the company's commitment to supporting this cause.

Accf President, Zahara Abdallah, welcomed the donation, recalling the long-standing support the association has received from Moroni Terminal. She praised the company's role in providing encouragement and confidence to the association since its inception. Abdallah emphasized that the donation represents new hope for the association, which has seen its needs grow as it expands its activities to include patient support.

Initially focused on prevention and screening, Accf has broadened its mission to include supporting patients. The association's growing responsibilities have led to an increased need for resources. The donation from Moroni Terminal will help bridge this gap, enabling Accf to provide better care and support to those affected by breast cancer.

Beyond the financial assistance, this initiative underscores the significance of solidarity among companies and organizations committed to fighting cancer. Abdallah highlighted that this gesture serves as a reminder to Comorian women that they are not alone in their fight against the disease, and that there are people willing to rally behind them.

The collaboration between Moroni Terminal and Accf demonstrates a growing trend of corporate social responsibility in Comoros. By supporting the association, Moroni Terminal sets a precedent for other companies to follow, fostering a culture of solidarity and social engagement.
