About Us

who we are

SAVE A LIFE CANCER AWARENESS AND SUPPORT NETWORK is a non-governmental organization with the passion and determination to raise awareness on breast and cervical cancer though educating women, young girls and the general populace on its signs, symptoms, preventative strategies, importance of routine screening and treatment with hope that greater knowledge will lead to early detection of the disease.

In recent years, the increase occurrence of cancer in young women at its late stages often leads to death. A woman can develop breast cancer at any age, but the risk increases as a woman grows older. When a breast tumor is found in its earliest stages, a woman has better than 90% chance of long-term survival. Much progress has been made in treating breast cancer nowadays. Many women no longer lose a breast or even their life to this disease. Today’s generation of women has a better chance of surviving breast cancer and leaving a happy, active lifestyle when the disease is detected in its early stage. Finding breast cancer as early as possible is most important.

Hence, our mission to spread the cautionary phrase, “Early Detection saves lives” Our programs are designed to highlight the importance and methods of detecting early symptoms of cancer so that our Mothers, Sisters and Daughters can be well alert of this disease.
