UWOCASO is a Local NGO registered in 2006 by five women who had survived breast cancer after going through difficult cancer journey without counselling and losing hope for recovery. UWOCASO works with partners to engage and mobilise communities to increase information and awareness for early detection and supporting rightsholders.

UWOCASO is implementing the “MENTALLY CANCER FREE & THRIVING” project in partnership with BUHOP andthe project sets out to position mental health as central in the lives of women cancer patients, survivors and their families. Their mental health is grossly affected by the lack of basic needs such as food, transport to health facilities, free cancer treatment and support from spouses and family during cancer treatment and survivorship.
