Lacy Hubbard: Launching the “One Egg a Day” Program in Karongi!
Lacy Hubbard, President and CEO of Elekta Foundation, shared on LinkedIn:
“Launching the ‘One Egg a Day’ Program in Karongi!
Earlier this summer, we screened over 37,000 women for cervical and breast cancer in the Karongi region. While many received good news, some, unfortunately, are now facing a cancer diagnosis. This program is for them – providing vital nutrition and fostering social connection, both essential for their recovery journey.
Following the success of our pilot in Gicumbi district last year—where it made a tangible difference in the lives of women recovering from cancer—we’re excited to expand this initiative to Karongi. The program not only offers daily nutrition – one egg a day—but also symbolizes care, hope, and resilience, ensuring women and their families feel supported every step of the way.
A huge thank you to our incredible partners, HEZA Initiative and ACREOL Global whose collaboration and dedication made this vision a reality. I also want to commend the local leaders, volunteers, and community members who have stepped forward to make this program a success.
We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together, and we know this is only the beginning. Here’s to transforming lives, one egg at a time.”
