MEPS Trust Well Woman Clinic, Sierra Leone 2023

ABOUT THE WELL WOMAN CLINIC

The MEPS Trust Well Woman Clinic was founded in 2006 and is registered as a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in Sierra Leone.

The WWC is committed to raising awareness of breast and cervical cancers, providing clinical screenings, diagnostic services, and cancer care support. The Clinic arranges treatments for cancer patients and covers the cost of treatment for those in need.

The WWC also provides wellness and gynaecological screening and treatment. In collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation the WWC offer free antenatal and postnatal services. We work with the Government, local and international partners and the community in providing free, subsidised or affordable health services especially for those in need.

FUNDRAISING

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BRECAM) and is a time to acknowledge the Well Woman Clinic's achievements, a time to raise funds for improvement and awareness, diagnosis and management. It is a time to remember, celebrate and honour our carers, our loved ones no longer with us, and our survivors. You can donate to the Well Woman Clinic at any time of the year, not just in October.

HOW YOUR DONATION IS SPENT

At the Well Woman Clinic, we know that early detection saves lives and every leone, pound or dollar you donate, every t-shirt, service or activity you sponsor helps us to save lives.

Funds raised during BRECAM and throughout the year go towards awareness campaigns, free screening, diagnostics and treatment for underprivileged women.
