What Are They Saying About Us

The cancer workshops especially the ones from male reproductive have really been so helpful. You know it was the first thing I asked my Doctor when I went for my annual check up. You are doing good job and can we have more like this workshops.

Sugow Ahmed

Community elder

It has been really helpful to have the referral voucher for my eye and that would not have happened with out you guys. So I say thank you and keep doing the good work for the community.

Abdi Abdi

Community Member

It is been great to have such turn out for the breast cancer workshop. Even though some of moms didn't wanted to talk about reproductive as they feel taboo, the feedback after the workshop was good. I think you guys need to have more similar workshops in the near future.
