Women’s Cancer Prevention Initiative is greatly focused on reducing the prevalence of breast and cervical cancer among Nigerian women. We achieve this goal through impressive initiatives
We lead community-based research to understand how women perceive cancer, access care, and respond to screening. Our findings shape every program we run—making sure it meets real needs, in real places. The results of these studies are incorporated into our project planning endeavors, ensuring that our projects and solutions are tailored to suit the needs of specific communities or populations. We also translate the latest global cancer data into clear, actionable information Nigerian women can use—because knowledge saves lives.
The Women’s Cancer Prevention Initiative (WCPI) provides benefits to both health professionals and patients. In partnership with Project ECHO (Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes), an initiative of the University of New Mexico, we deliver joint solutions that promote preventive education and improve early cancer diagnosis and treatment in underserved communities across Nigeria. Currently, our teams are working on projects aimed at training personnel nationwide. These capacity development initiatives, not only empower health workers but also, reduce cancer-related mortality rates through early detection advocacy.
Recent studies have shown that most Nigerian women are aware of breast and cervical cancer,
however,
only a few understand that these diseases are preventable. In fact, a majority of women do not
know
that these cancers are preventable, and this is where WCPI comes in. As a program initiative,
health
education is the heart and soul of WCPI projects and outreaches. We
break down complex medical information into simple, lifesaving truths: how to recognize early
symptoms, where to get screened, and why preventive actions like HPV vaccination, healthy
eating,
and regular checkups matter.
Our health education initiatives began in the Remo North Local
Government Area of Ogun State and have spread to other parts of the country. Today, they’re
transforming communities across Nigeria- fueling knowledge, changing behavior, and giving women
to
tools to protect their own lives.
For too many Nigerian women, cancer screening is out of reach—blocked by high costs, poor infrastructure, or long distances to care. WCPI exists to change that. At every outreach, we deliver free, high-quality mammograms and cervical screeningsto women of all ages. When we detect warning signs, we link women directly to trusted specialists for advanced care and follow-up. These screenings aren’t just checkups—they're lifelines. So far, we've reached over 3,000 women across Nigeria, detecting risks early, preventing worse outcomes, and helping women stay healthy, strong, and seen.
At WCPI, we’re closing that gap. We partner with schools, local institutions, and public health authorities to push for full HPV vaccine coverage. Through advocacy campaigns, education drives, and free vaccination initiatives, we’re ensuring that every girl—regardless of where she lives—has a fighting chance against cervical cancer.
We provide mammograms and cervical screenings to women in underserved communities.
We EducateWe educate community members and health professionals on the prevention and diagnosis of cervical and breast cancer across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
