Our GlobalGiving Fundraiser to bring affordable early screening to women in Northern India is still open and still open for donations.
Presently, we have only reached 12% of our $25,000 goal, which when achieved, would kick-off our project with Jhpiego, Niramai, and WayuHealth. Our aim is to screen over 100,000 women during the 2-year implementation of this program (and for many years to come) with 30 portable devices beginning in Delhi and spreading to the surrounding Northern Areas. Women in Northern India are not able to seek the education for self-breast exams, follow up for screening and treatment due to a lack of infrastructure, technology and access.
We have launched our website for this project. Take a look here.
Our program trains and equips local providers using the Jhpiego network of medical clinics to offer screening at reasonable cost at locations that are near the women in each region. HERHealthEQ aims to ensure that more women have a chance of early breast cancer detection and successful treatment outcomes. Community healthcare screening does not exist currently in India, we are working to change that.
This campaign will remain open until the goal is met. If we can secure 230 new donors, contributing $100 to our fundraiser we will meet our goal. Information dissemination is key to bringing awareness to both our platform and our cause, ensuring the most women can benefit from this equipment and the program can bring education, awareness, screening to combat the rates of Breast Cancer in Northern India.
