Cervical Cancer is Curable!!
We do not need to sit back in ignorance anymore!
We should seize every opportunity that avails itself to curb this gruesome disease! These were the ideas I had in mind when I joined the fight against cervical cancer in my country.
It is still the most common and No. 1 killer cancer in women in Uganda! Actually about 30% of women lie in Mulago cancer institute beds with at least 40% registering with too late Cancer Cervix!

SAWI is one of its kind among other organizations with relatively similar interests. At SAWI awareness is key, many have lived and died in ignorance, we do not want that to continue!
We carry out community out reaches in markets, churches, health centres, schools, rotary clubs, among other gatherings. We give our groups the necessary materials to read in both English and he local language – Luganda.
We then refer them to the reputable clinics for screening and treatment if necessary.

However SAWI is fundraising for a cervical cancer model clinic to make it easy to follow up with the big number of patients who overwhelm the scarce cervical cancer service provision centers. Join us to make it!!
