About CCI Foundation

Who We Are?

Cancer Connect Initiative Foundation (CCI Foundation) is a non-profit, non-political, voluntary and charitable organization based in Dhaka, committed to supporting cancer patients and their families across Bangladesh. Our foundation was formed from compassion and the belief that no one should face cancer alone. We stand for care, dignity, encouragement, and real support toward life-changing impact.

With every program, partnership, and awareness activity, we strive to uplift the lives of those burdened by cancer — socially, emotionally, and financially.

  • Our Vision

    A Bangladesh where cancer is prevented, detected early, and no patient or caregiver faces it alone.
