Attending the Women's Sport Fiesta Day in Mbekweni, where young girls came together to celebrate sport, teamwork and healthy living.

The talk focused on important cancer awareness topics, including breast cancer awareness and self-examination, the dangers of to***co use.
We believe that empowering young people with the right knowledge can encourage them to make healthier choices and become more aware of their bodies and overall health.
