Breast Care International — America
Join us to make surviving breast cancer the norm
Far too often in Africa, breast cancer is a death sentence. 2,369 Ghanaian women will lose their lives to breast cancer this year — we’re on a mission to change that.
Our Work
Education, screening and treatment — across Ghana
Free breast-cancer screening, nurse training and medical sponsorship reach the communities that need them most — with outreach in eight of the country’s ten regions.

Zero deaths from breast cancer in all of Africa.
Survivor stories
Real lives, changed
When I found the lump I was terrified and ashamed. BCI’s nurses met me with knowledge instead of judgement — and early treatment gave me my life back.
Akosua
Breast-cancer survivor · Kumasi
A free screening at a BCI outreach caught my cancer early. Fourteen years on, I walk every year for the cure — and for the women who still need to hear: check your breasts.
Ama
Survivor & volunteer · Ashanti Region
I had no money for treatment and no one to talk to. BCI sponsored my care and connected me with survivors who had walked the same road. Today I counsel others.
Esi
Survivor & peer counselor · Kumasi
The Walk for the Cure showed me I wasn’t alone. Thousands of women in pink — survivors and fighters — and I left knowing my diagnosis was not the end of my story.
Adwoa
Survivor · Greater Accra
A BCI nurse taught my whole village how to check for lumps. We caught my sister’s cancer in time. Education is the gift that keeps on saving lives.

Survivor’s sister & advocate · Eastern Region
