Teal Sisters Foundation
About Us
Organization Description
Organization was formed to raise awareness for cervical cancer and to create demand for cervical cancer services such as screening, HPV vaccine and treatment. We also provide linkages between the communities and health care providers. We are also involved in government lobbying and coming up with screening and vaccination programs, especially in the rural districts of the country. We also help with counseling using survivors and teach story telling techniques to survivors. We have since added other cancers to our portfolio to include breast and other gynecological cancers.
Our mission is to save lives.
