Love Hope Strength Leads To Children's Cancer Center
. When the Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHS) was created in 2007, its founders envisioned using the power of music to help people from all walks of life gain access to cancer screening, treatment and support that first world citizens enjoy in places such as the United States and the U.K. With the opening of the first-of-its-kind cancer complex dedicated to children in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that vision is taking hold in a region where cancer is not at the forefront of most minds. LHS funded the project through The Ocean Road Cancer Institute, both of whom are members of the UICC. The project included provision of permits, design plans, rehabilitation and site sanitation, electric work and plumbing, structuring the prep and chemo rooms, site security and administration, IT and office development, installation of clinical equipment, hospital beds, as well as furniture and artwork for all public areas. The state of the art facility will house 32 new beds where they will treat over 500 children with cancer this year alone. LHS, which raised the majority of funds for the center from recent star-studded and music-fueled pilgrimages to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Fuji and Pikes Peak, has now contributed to the fight against cancer on six continents in its four year history. The grand opening puts an exclamation on Love Hope Strength's global efforts to save lives, one concert at a time.
