It was truly enlightening to learn from Uzima Association during this Pink October awareness campaign on breast cancer. On October 15, 2024, our community had the opportunity to receive crucial information about this devastating disease that silently claims the lives of many women who may not even realize what is happening in their bodies.We are deeply grateful to Uzima Association for their dedication to educating and empowering our community. Their insights helped raise awareness about early detection, prevention, and available treatments, which are vital in the fight against breast cancer.This initiative aligns with our commitment to women’s health and well-being, reinforcing our efforts to ensure that every woman has access to essential health education and screenings. Together, we can work toward a healthier and more informed society.Let’s continue to spread awareness and encourage regular check-ups, because early detection saves lives! 💕🎗

This project strengthens healthcare services, reduces reliance on external supplies, and ensures uninterrupted care for the community. Additionally, it provides safe drinking water for patients, staff, and nearby residents, reducing waterborne diseases and improving overall public health.
