Martha Wanjiru, Nurse Educator and ToT in Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening and Treatment of Precancerous Lesions Screening, Cervical Advocate and Champion Kiambu County, Kenya, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Churches are more than places of worship-they are powerful centers of hope, trust, and community transformation.
Yesterday we conducted breast and cervical cancer screening services closer to the people-right where they feel safe, supported, and heard. By using the church as a platform, we are breaking barriers to access, reducing stigma, and reaching women who might otherwise never come for screening.
This is what prevention looks like:
- Meeting people where they are.
- Building trust through community.
- Saving lives through early detection.
As we continue this journey, I am reminded that healthcare is not confined to hospital walls-it thrives in communities. Together, we can make cancer prevention a shared responsibility.”
