In order to reach our underserved communities, KDFCC held seminars to educate villagers on cancer screening, early detection procedures, and cancer prevention. The seminars were arranged in remote villages prior to the camps to educate the villagers to understand the topics and access free services.
In the seminar we discussed the importance of breast self-exams, cervical screening and how to enhance a better life. This year we did 4 seminars. A total of 287 women were present in those seminars. KDFCC volunteers, the medical team of CNCI and KDFCC consulting oncologists conducted 4 medical screening camps:

KDFCC volunteers, the medical team of CNCI and KDFCC consulting oncologists conducted 4 medical screening camps:
- BSE (Breast Self-Exam) was performed on 215 women. All the results were negative.
- A total of 224 women were screened for cervical cancer.
KDFCC provided monetary support to different type of cancer patients for their treatment. We supported 4 patients afflicted with conditions such as colon cancer, breast cancer, throat cancer and brain tumor.
On March 2, we held our annual Foundation day to discuss the importance of cancer awareness and early detection. KDFCC volunteers, their spouses and children all shared clear and simple messages about healthy living, screening and how to take an active role to reduce the risk of cancer. A cancer survivor and beneficiary of our screening camp shared their experience. Also, some of our volunteers shared their experiences to encourage people to learn about the importance of early detection.
Cancer affects millions of people irrespective religion, race and creed. We strongly believe that together we can help fight against cancer and make progress towards our mission.
