Local NPO Nation Builders hosted an informative workshop in support of breast cancer awareness. Nation Builders Founder Annet Michelle Sewraj in partnership with Dr Nivasha Naidoo took time to empower women from all walks of life on the the impact of breast cancer in support of October being breast cancer awareness month.

It is a leading cause of cancer death in less developed countries and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women, exceeded only by lung cancer

Dr Nivasha Naidoo provided the woman with indepth information on: How to diagnose breast cancer, Self examination, The role of a mammogram and breast ultrasound and How to prevent different types of cancer.

Annet Michelle Sewraj encouraged the women to develop a healthy lifestyle by improving their diet and becoming more physically active. She added that it was the responsibility of every woman to take charge of their health and to take the necessary precautions to prevent contracting breast cancer.

Nikki Geldenhuys who attended the event commented: 'This breast cancer awareness event has been practical and informative in assisting me to take the necessary steps to prevent contracting breast cancer. I have been to many events by Nation Builders thus far and have seen them to be a genuine blessing to the community."
