We advocate for health living
Together against NCDs
At the core of our identity is a deeply ingrained mission: to eliminate health disparities by raising awareness, providing essential support, advocating for evidence-based policy changes, and fostering collaboration in the battle against cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and mental illness. We believe that through these fundamental pillars, we can effect meaningful change in the lives of individuals and families within our community.
Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, often forming tumors.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to regulate insulin properly.
Hypertension is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Mental health is the state of emotional and psychological well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and interact with others.
How We intend to do it

We are firm believers in the power of knowledge. To that end, we engage in comprehensive public awareness campaigns and educational initiatives. Our aim is to empower individuals with the information they need to make informed decisions regarding prevention, early detection, and management of health disparities.
