About Breast Cancer Charity
We exist to close the global gap in breast cancer survival. Women in low-income communities are dying from a treatable disease — not because medicine has failed them, but because the system never reached them.
Our mission
Survival should not depend on where you were born
In the UK, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer is over 85%. In low-income communities worldwide, it falls as low as 40%. The biology of the disease is identical. What differs is access — to screening, to diagnosis, to treatment.
Breast Cancer Charity is a campaign of World Aid Network, a London-based international development organisation. We fund the practical interventions that shift diagnosis from late to early: mobile screening units, community education led by local health educators, and treatment access support for women who cannot afford care.
Every pound we raise goes directly to programmes in underserved communities where breast cancer survival rates are lowest and need is greatest.
What we do
Three pillars of our work
Free Screening
We fund mobile breast cancer screening units and trained community health educators who bring clinical breast examinations to women in underserved areas who have never been examined. Early detection saves lives.
Community Education
We fund structured awareness sessions that teach women how to self-examine, recognise warning signs, and know when to seek help. Knowledge delivered by trusted local voices, in local languages.
Treatment Access
A diagnosis is only the beginning. We fund treatment access — covering surgery costs, chemotherapy courses, hormone therapy and diagnostic tests — for women who cannot afford care.
The organisation
World Aid Network
World Aid Network is a London-based international development organisation working to improve access to healthcare and education in underserved communities. The Breast Cancer Charity campaign is one of a portfolio of health programmes operated by World Aid Network, focused on closing the global survival gap in breast cancer through practical, evidence-based interventions.
We are not a clinical service. We fund the infrastructure — the community educators, the mobile units, the diagnostic access — that allows clinical care to reach women who would otherwise have no pathway to it.
