Formed in 2012, Women 4 Cancer is a Kenyan non-governmental organization co-founded by four women from diverse backgrounds.These women came together driven by a passion to eliminate cervical cancer in Kenya. Each of them had a personal, life-changing story of being affected by cancer and therefore saw the need to do something in the form of starting an initiative towards responding to cancer. They saw the needless death and suffering that cancer has caused yet some can be prevented especially for the reproductive cancers which can be detected early. In 2012, Women for Cancer was registered and has since developed a culture of effectively utilizing all available resources to reach out to women from diverse backgrounds with cervical cancer screening and treatment.
We are committed to inspire action towards cervical cancer elimination in Kenya. We do this through advocacy for policy action; community mobilization and education on cancer prevention; facilitating access to quality cervical cancer screening; and navigation for timely access to treatment.
