Africa Myeloma Foundation
The African Myeloma Foundation (AMF) was formed in 2006 to call attention to the plight of people with multiple myeloma in the African continent by a family who lost their mother after a protracted battle with multiple myeloma in Nigeria. Its head office is located in Wixom, Michigan, in the United States of America. The AMF has three regional locations in Africa - Eastern, Southern, and Western. All of the countries of Africa are subdivided into these three regions.
The original founders are Charles, Jenny, George, Rita, Ify, and Arthur Nwasor.

Famous quotes containing the words africa and/or foundation:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
