Win Over Cancer

Project Garima, a crucial part of Win Over Cancer's endeavours, was initiated in 2016 by co-founder Mrs Kavita Gupta. This project provides cost-effective prosthetic bras to underserved breast cancer patients in India. The Dignity Kit, which includes reusable breast prostheses and cancer bras made from special fabric, is distributed through hospital outreach. Skilled counsellors offer peer support, community engagement, and workshops to breast cancer survivors. Notably, the initiative also empowers underprivileged women in rural Haryana through employment in the manufacturing process. Throughout the year, impactful workshops and peer-support meetings are held to further benefit breast cancer warriors.

Win Over Cancer operates a vital initiative known as Project SAVE, responding to the low awareness of early cancer symptoms in India, where merely 12.5% of cases are detected and treated in the initial stage. Project SAVE's mission revolves around enlightening individuals about cancer and dispelling prevalent myths associated with the disease. The organisation achieves this through health check-ups and awareness camps held in partnership with student groups, residential communities, workplaces, labour unions, and other entities. Engaging in cancer advocacy and early detection campaigns, it actively encourages participation in its cause.

Win Over Cancer's "Project Support" initiative aims to offer assistance during the treatment phase, alleviating the financial burden associated with cancer care. Recognizing the stigma still attached to cancer in India, it addresses the lack of support systems for patients. Battling cancer poses both financial and emotional challenges, particularly for those with limited means. Through Project Support, the organisation partners with hospitals to extend treatment to patients, prioritizing those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This includes discounted hospitalization fees and waived consultation charges, significantly aiding patients' treatment journey. Notably, the initiative goes further to aid young cancer patients, facilitating their return to school after treatment.
