Evidence-based cancer screening for women who would otherwise never be screened. Because early detection saves lives everywhere, not just in the places that can afford it.

Saving lives together.

Cervical cancer, breast cancer, and other gynecological cancers are among the leading causes of death for women in sub-Saharan Africa.

Not because treatment doesn't exist — but because screening rarely reaches the women who need it most.

Butterfly Collaborative runs evidence-based cancer screening programs for ultra-vulnerable women in our areas of operation. We bring the screening, the expertise, and the follow-up care coordination to communities that have never had access to any of it.

Early detection is the difference between a diagnosis and a death sentence.

This program exists because a group of committed partners decided that women in sub-Saharan Africa deserve the same fighting chance as women anywhere. We agree.

This program is supported by generous partners who believe that world-class cancer care should have no borders.
