Why These Awareness Programs Matter
Cancer detected at an early stage significantly increases survival rates. However, lack of awareness, fear, and social stigma often delay diagnosis, especially in rural communities.
Through Project Shakthi, Kalpavriksham Trust aims to:
-
Promote early screening practices
-
Educate women about breast and cervical cancer
-
Demonstrate self-breast examination methods
-
Encourage healthy lifestyle choices
-
Reduce fear and misconceptions surrounding cancer
Each awareness session builds knowledge, confidence, and empowerment within the community.
