THE CONTEXT :
In rural India, women face significant barriers to accessing basic healthcare services. Limited awareness, financial constraints, and social stigma often lead to neglect of their health.
As a result, many preventable and treatable diseases go undetected until they reach advanced stages. Among these, breast cancer remains one of the most critical concerns, often identified too late due to a lack of timely screening.
There is an urgent need to conduct regular screening camps to enable early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer.
THE INITIATIVE :
To address the gap in breast health awareness and early detection among rural women, I have partnered with MediBrains Social Welfare Foundation’s initiative ‘SHEvolution’, to conduct five focused screening and awareness camps in the villages of Saphale and Vasai in Maharashtra. The plan is to conduct 5 camps and target around 100 women per camp.
Each camp will provide structured breast cancer awareness sessions, guided self-examination education, basic screening support, and personalised counselling.

ABOUT ME :
My name is MISHTI SHARMA. I am 16-years-old and a Grade 11 student at GEMS World Academy, Dubai.
Health has always been a big part of my life and something I’ve thought about deeply, especially after seeing people in my own family struggle with serious health issues. Watching loved ones deal with illness made me realize how important awareness, early detection, and access to care truly are.
As a young woman, this is a cause that feels very personal to me. Women’s health is still surrounded by stigma and silence in many places, and too many women grow up without the information or support they need to care for their own bodies. Through this campaign, I believe that we can bring awareness and education, two very powerful tools in changing the lives of women. By helping bring breast health awareness and screening opportunities to women who might not otherwise have access to them, I hope to play a small role in empowering women to take control of their health and seek care without fear or hesitation.
Support this campaign and let us together impact the lives of rural women.
