NAWEC Client

Business Woman

“I first interfaced with NAWEC nurses at Mukono in July 2019 during the cervical cancer week camp. I was screened for cervical cancer and I was told I was positive for HPV virus that pr-exposes women to cancer of the cervix, I was very scared as I have seen people die to cancer and I still have young children to take care of. However, the nurse gave me assurance that all will be well;they treated me and told me the virus had been burnt and that I would be fine. The nurse told me that they would do another test in February, 2020.When I went to NAWEC, I was screened again and the virus was gone. I was so happy and relieved and will forever be grateful”

I sell a glass at 1000ugshs. Currently I get profits of 15000ugshs a day and from the profits have expanded my business to serve functions in my community and supported my family of six members. I have also employed as youth to help run the business as I study. In the future I hope to expand my business and employ more youth”
