Cervical Cancer: A Problem We Can Solve
Despite being one of the easiest forms of cancer to screen for and treat, cervical cancer kills more women in coffee-growing countries than any other form of cancer.
Women are dying from cancer that is preventable.
Grounds for Health works with coffee-growing communities to establish sustainable cervical cancer prevention programs.
We partner with local health professionals to help them fight this killer themselves. Using the Single Visit Approach, our low-resource-appropriate programs focus on innovative training and education, so more women can get back to their children, their communities, and their lives.
Why Cervical Cancer?
We focus on cervical cancer because it is one of the easiest cancers to prevent yet it remains the #1 cause of cancer death for women in developing countries.
Why Coffee-Growing Countries?
Many coffee-growing countries have alarmingly high rates of cervical cancer. Grounds for Health was founded by members of the coffee community who decided to take action.
How can I help?
From donating money to volunteering time to holding specialty coffee promotions, there are many ways to get involved.
