The Female Cancer Foundation strives to create a world free from cervical cancer, which can be achieved by offering care (screening and treatment) on location, offering education and research. While its main focus is cervical cancer, FCF informs women in developing countries about breast cancer and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights related subjects.

A cervical cancer-free world is not Utopia but a realistic goal. For women under the age of 45 cervical cancer is the number 2 most common forms of the disease (breast cancer being number 1). Every year at least 500.000 women are diagnosed with the disease of which almost 50% do not survive. Which is especially devastating, considering cervical cancer can be prevented and completely cured if diagnosed and treated in early stage.

The focus of FCF is with the women who are at highest risk of developing cervical cancer, between the ages of 30 and 50. Young women with small children are most commonly victims to this poverty related disease, even though they play a crucial role within their families and communities.

With every ten Euro FCF helps a woman in some of the world’s most impoverished countries.

In everything that FCF does local integration in the health care system comes first, so that we can hand over the project after 3-5 years. We achieve this through the “train-the-trainer’- principle: local health workers are trained to spread the knowledge further within the local community.

With your donation we can make a real and immediate difference.

For every 10 euro we can screen one woman and – if necessary – we can treat on the spot. So the woman will not needlessly die of cervical cancer.
