πŸ”Ž Know the Signs. Pay Attention to Changes.

Breast health awareness starts with knowing what is normal for you and paying attention when something changes.

During Pink October, DOMCCP encourages individuals and communities to learn about possible signs and symptoms of breast cancer and to seek medical advice when unusual changes are noticed.

Some changes to be aware of may include:

πŸŽ€ A new lump or thickening in the breast
πŸŽ€ Changes in the size or shape of the breast
πŸŽ€ Changes to the skin, including dimpling, redness or a rash
πŸŽ€ Changes to the ni**le, including unusual discharge or changes in its appearance
πŸŽ€ Swelling or a lump around the armpit

These changes do not necessarily mean cancer, but they should not be ignored. A health professional can assess unusual changes and determine whether further evaluation is needed.

πŸ’— Knowing the signs can encourage earlier action.

This Pink October, let's talk about breast health, share reliable information and encourage one another to seek appropriate medical care when needed.

Awareness can start with a conversation.

πŸŽ€ Pink October: Raising Awareness, Encouraging Early Detection

As we welcome October, DOMCCP joins communities around the world in observing Breast Cancer Awareness Month β€” Pink October.

Breast cancer can affect women across different ages and backgrounds, and awareness of possible signs and symptoms can encourage people to seek medical attention when they notice changes. Early detection, timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important in improving outcomes.

This October, we encourage everyone to:

πŸŽ€ Know your body and be aware of changes in your breasts
πŸŽ€ Pay attention to unusual changes, such as a new lump, thickening or other changes in the breast or surrounding area
πŸŽ€ Seek medical advice promptly when you notice something unusual
πŸŽ€ Encourage conversations about breast health within families and communities
πŸŽ€ Support those affected by breast cancer with compassion, dignity and understanding

Breast cancer does not only affect the person diagnosed. It can affect families, friends and entire communities.

πŸ’— This Pink October, let us raise awareness, encourage early detection and stand in solidarity with everyone affected by breast cancer.

Awareness can start a conversation. A conversation can encourage someone to seek care.

🚧 The Project Continues to Take Shape at St Elizabeth Primary School

As September comes to a close, we are pleased to share the latest progress from the sanitation project at St Elizabeth Primary School in Bvirindi. 🏫

In our previous update, we shared images from the early stages of the project, including the initial groundwork and excavation. Since then, the project has continued to move forward, with the sanitation structures now clearly taking shape.

The latest progress includes:

πŸ”Ή Construction and plastering of the sanitation structures
πŸ”Ή Roofing now in place
πŸ”Ή Sanitation cubicles taking shape
πŸ”Ή Window and door frames progressing
πŸ”Ή Continued excavation and ground works around the facilities

Although construction is still ongoing, each stage brings the school closer to having improved sanitation facilities that can support a safer, healthier and more dignified learning environment for learners.

πŸ’§ From the first stages of groundwork to structures taking shape β€” every step brings us closer to improved WASH services at the school.

With the support of Misean Cara, DOMCCP continues to work alongside communities and schools to strengthen access to essential Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services.

πŸ“ St Elizabeth Primary School, Bvirindi

The work continues. The progress is visible. The impact is taking shape.

🚽 EVERY CHILD DESERVES A SAFE TOILET

At St Elizabeth Primary School in Bvirindi, access to safe and dignified sanitation is an important part of creating a healthy environment where children can learn, grow and thrive.

For learners, inadequate sanitation can mean more than discomfort. It can affect their health, dignity, safety, attendance and ability to concentrate in class.

🌱 Safe school sanitation helps to:

βœ… Protect children from preventable illnesses
βœ… Provide privacy and dignity, especially for girls
βœ… Support menstrual hygiene management
βœ… Promote inclusion for learners with disabilities
βœ… Create a cleaner and safer learning environment
βœ… Encourage good hygiene practices among children and the wider community

A toilet may look like a simple structure, but for a child, it represents safety, dignity and the opportunity to learn without fear or discomfort.

πŸ’§ Together, we can help build schools where every child has access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene facilities.

Every child deserves to learn in a safe, healthy and dignified environment.

With the support of Misean Cara, DOMCCP continues working with communities and schools to strengthen access to essential WASH services.

Strengthening Dialogue and Learning through Masidama in Dora Ward 35 🀝

On Thursday last week, DOMCCP continued its Masidama support and learning visit in Dora Ward 35, bringing together participants from different groups at 4 Roads for a joint engagement.

The visit was supported by Trocaire as part of its ongoing accompaniment and learning support to DOMCCP. It created an opportunity to listen to community experiences, reflect on the progress being made, and understand the challenges and lessons emerging from the programme.

Following the joint session, participants separated into two groups women and men creating safe spaces for more open and meaningful conversations.

Participants and facilitators shared their experiences, discussed challenges encountered during implementation, and offered recommendations on how the programme can be strengthened.

These conversations are an important part of Masidama. They allow us to listen, learn and adapt together, while ensuring that community voices remain at the centre of the programme.

Through Masidama, we continue to work with communities to challenge harmful gender norms and promote women’s voice, leadership and meaningful participation. πŸ’ͺ🏾

We appreciate Trocaire for the continued partnership, accompaniment and commitment to learning alongside communities and local partners.

Creating Space for Learning, Reflection and Strengthening 🀝

Today in Sakubva, the Diocese of Mutare Community Care Programme (DOMCCP) hosted Trocaire for a support visit to the Masidama project.

As part of the visit, Trocaire observed separate Masidama sessions facilitated by women facilitators and men facilitators, gaining a closer understanding of how the sessions are being implemented within the community.

Following the sessions, facilitators had an opportunity to share their experiences, challenges and recommendations. These reflections provided valuable insights into the realities of implementation and highlighted areas where further support and strengthening may be needed.

The visit created a meaningful space for listening, learning and constructive reflection, while reinforcing the importance of working closely with facilitators and communities to strengthen the programme.

We value the continued partnership and support of Trocaire as we work together to strengthen women’s voice, leadership and meaningful participation in community spaces.

When we listen to those implementing the work, we learn how to make it stronger. 🀝

Clean water is coming closer to both the school and the community at Bvirindi πŸ’§πŸ«

This project was designed to make a real differenceβ€”not just for learners, but for the wider community too.

Here’s the progress so far:

Solar panels are installed β˜€οΈ
The old bush pump has been removed
A new water tank is now in place
Tap stands have been installed at the school and outside for community use

Water is not yet flowing, but everything is now set up πŸ™Œ

Soon, learners, teachers, and community members will have easy access to clean water right where they need it πŸ’™

This means better hygiene, less time spent fetching water, and a healthier environment for everyone.

A big thank you to Misean Cara for supporting this important work.

We can’t wait to see the first water flowing!

Bringing clean water closer to Bvirindi πŸ’§

In Bvirindi, the water source is located far from the school β€” making daily access a challenge for students and staff.

We are currently working on a solar-powered system that will pump water from the borehole directly to the school, improving access for the entire community.

What makes this project even more meaningful is the active involvement of the community every step of the way πŸ‘

This is progress in action β€” and we’re excited to share the journey.
With Support from Misean Cara
