For breast cancer survivors in Harare, a community group is helping them regain self-esteem and confidence after mastectomy. The Mt Pleasant Heights SDA Sister to Sister Breast Cancer Initiative offers free knitted prosthetic breasts, providing a vital alternative for those unable to afford silicone ones. The initiative also provides counselling, health education on prevention, and spiritual support to survivors and their families.
