The challenge

A preventable crisis

Every 8 minutes, a woman in India dies from cervical cancer, and breast cancer is now the most common cancer among Indian women — both are highly preventable with early screening. Yet in rural areas, most women have never heard of these cancers, let alone received a screening. Mahila Arogya Vikas (MAV) — "Women's Health Development" — brings free cervical and breast cancer screenings directly to villages, breaking down every barrier that keeps women from the care they deserve.

Why your gift matters

Why early detection saves lives

Cervical and breast cancers are among the most preventable cancers when caught early.
