Tenay recently wrote us a note about her iGive Cause of choice:
PINCC (Prevention International: No Cervical Cancer)
"PINCC is a non-profit, volunteer medical service organization whose
mission is to create sustainable programs that prevent cervical cancer
by educating women, training medical personnel, and equipping facilities
in developing countries, utilizing proven, low cost, accessible
technology methods. Cervical cancer is one of the deadliest cancers
afflicting women worldwide. Every day over 1,450 women are diagnosed
with this preventable disease; more than half of these women will not
survive. iGive donations have helped pay for women in Latin America,
India, and Africa to receive cervical cancer screenings and precancerous
treatment, but this is only the beginning. Our goal is to help clinics
set up sustainable cervical cancer prevention programs. This year, with
the help of the iGive community, PINCC hopes to raise enough donations
from iGve to help one of our twelve clinics become self-sufficient. With
your help we can prevent the needless deaths of thousands of women!"
This Cause has earned nearly $200 from their supporters iGive activity. To learn more about their efforts & activities, you can check out the PINCC facebook page:
