Breast Cancer International is a UK based charity set up to help women to gain medical treatment for breast cancer In world’s poorest communities, with a focus on the third world..
We send our volenteer surgeons out to projects, where they stay for a week and operate on patients in need whilst at the same time teaching the latest in life saving procedures.
It costs us £1000 per surgeon, which includes their flights/ accomodation/food. On top of that we pay £200 per patient locally to be able to use operating theatres and provide medicines.
Im talking about helping woman so sick that they have fungating tumours on their chests as they have no money to seek help. So they may turn to faith healers, or at the very extreme, commit suicide to avoid family shame. I am sure you will agree such a description is shocking and these women desperately need our help, as no woman should have to go through this alone.
Most women will have no palliative care, no pain relieving drugs to give them a peaceful exit from life, and this is a horrible and painful way to die. In an animal loving country like the UK we wouldn’t let our pets carry on like this, so please don't turn a blind eye to the horrible suffering of women in poorer countries that need our help.
At Breast Cancer International we are all volunteers, every penny donated goes directly to helping women sufferering from breast cancer.Our surgeons don't recieve any fee for participating in our projects, indeed they even give up a week of their annual leave to take part. If you would like to volunteer to help us fundraise please get in touch.
Without donations from people like you, we would not be able function, and breast cancer is on the rise in under developed countries.
