Reduce Incidence

Through direct cervical cancer prevention campaigns, local capacity building, as well as advocacy on the global stage, Grounds for Health is addressing a major killer of women worldwide.

Increase Access to Care

By partnering with coffee cooperatives, local health organizations and in-country NGOs, we ensure more women gain access to life-saving care.

Educate + Train

We train local health providers in effective ways to screen for and treat cervical pre-cancers. We educate community health promoters about how to communicate about the disease to their friends, neighbors and peers.

Everything we do has the long-term in mind.
