SEEKING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO CONDUCT AWARENESS, EDUCATION FOR EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with a majority of cases and deaths occurring in developing countries. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in sub-Saharan Africa. However, cervical cancer is preventable and curable, at low cost and low risk, when screening to facilitate the timely detection of early precursor lesions in asymptomatic women is available together with appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Nationwide cancer registry was conducted between September and October 2010 in Malawi. www.nyasatimes.com/.../cancer-cases-on-the-rise-in-malawi-...
In a bid to reduce cases and burden of cancer in Malawi, we seek financial support to conduct cancer awareness, education and early detection. The idea for carrying out the activity was generated by the general impression about the numbers suffering from cancer, the lack of awareness amongst the public in general. To address the issues concerned with awareness campaign, the organization in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Cancer Specialists shall prepare a list of warning signs and symptoms and prevention measures on leaflets and get them distributed to the general public.
What Can You Do? Make a DONATION - Help us with funds to conduct raise awareness campaigns through: · Public awareness campaigns · Dissemination messages through community radios in all languages spoken by the people in Karonga · Publication and distribution of leaflets with cancer signs and symptoms written in all languages · Billboards

Girls face a number of challenges in many developing countries which deprive them their right to education. The picture below shows the type of unfriendly girls-toilets which cannot provide girls to attain their rights of privacy, dignity and space. The majority of them have no access to clean and safe sanitary products, or to a clean and private space in which to change menstrual cloths or pads and to wash. Menstruation is supposed to be invisible and silent, and sometimes, menstruating girls are supposed to be invisible and silent, too. Millions of girls are subject to restrictions in their daily lives simply because they are menstruating. Besides the health problems due to poor hygiene during menstruation, the lack or affordability of facilities and appropriate sanitary products may push menstruating girls temporarily or sometimes permanently out of school, having a negative impact on their right to education. The best place to make an impact on improving the lives of girls is in water and sanitation. The time has come to promote – loudly and unashamedly – the role of good Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) as a trigger for better, stronger development of girls: personal, educational and professional. There is also clear evidence to show that ignoring good menstrual hygiene is damaging not just girls directly but also for schools, businesses and economies. What You Can Do to Help Promote Girls Education Through Menstrual Hygiene Management.
