We are excited to announce that the next Matching Day with Global Giving is next week on Wednesday, May 7th! Matching starts at 9am and all donations, up to $1,000, will be matched at 30% by Global Giving. That means if you donate $100, Global Giving matches your donation to give MedPLUS Connect $130! We are continuing to fundraise for the cost of the supplies and equipment for the cervical cancer program and with Mother's Day fast approaching, a donation to our project could be the ideal gift. If you're struggling to find the perfect gift or want to give a gift that means something truly special, consider donating to our project and giving a gift that will go beyond just a monetary donation. Honor mom by giving her the gift of helping save the lives of numerous women in Ghana, many whom are also mothers. If you would like to make your donation a gift in honor of Mother's Day, Global Giving and MedPLUS Connect will send a tribute card, either by mail or email (your choice) to your recipient. Although cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women in Ghana, women in the Upper West Region of Ghana currently lack access to cervical care and must travel up to 700km to receive treatment for cervical cancer. With your help and support we have made significant progress towards raising the funds necessary to purchase the supplies and equipment to establish the regions first cervical cancer screening and treatment program. However, there is still more to be done. See your donation make a greater impact and help us make the cervical cancer program a reality by making a donation next Wednesday. Just $28 provides cryotherapy treatment of precancerous lesions for one woman, $50 purchases a tenaculum to screen and treat women for cervical cancer, and $100 provides screening to detect cervical cancer for 16 women.
