The Barbados Cancer Association USA (BACA), Inc. is a community-based not for profit organization dedicated to minimizing the impact of cancer on Barbados and Caribbean Communities in the United States of America by promoting prevention, early detection and prompt treatment of cancer in these populations.
An organization whose members are Registered Nurses born in Barbados and or are of Barbadian parentage.
Like many Barbadians, we departed the shores of our native Barbados with much uncertainty, but with high expectations of making a better life for ourselves and our families. We left behind our culture, heritage and many family and friends. Barbados is an island of few natural resources; however, our people are rich in pride, heritage and tradition. Our future home away from home afforded few opportunities for fellowship with other Barbadians and to enjoy the culture with which we have become so familiar. As a result, descendants of Barbadians who were born abroad, often mature with little knowledge and understanding of their culture.
This group was created by Bajans in the Diaspora to help support Bajans and the community.
