Cancer Awareness and Early Detection
The TASI Cancer Project aims to raise awareness about cancer prevention, early detection, and access to treatment, especially in underserved and rural communities. Many people, particularly women, lack the information and resources needed to detect cancer early, which affects their chances of survival. Through educational campaigns, screenings, and community outreach, the project seeks to empower individuals with the knowledge to recognize the signs of cancer and seek timely medical help.
Targeting adults, especially women, youth, healthcare providers, and community leaders, the project will offer educational materials, free screenings, and outreach programs. By focusing on areas with limited healthcare access, the TASI Cancer Project hopes to improve early detection rates, reduce cancer-related deaths, and promote healthier communities.

Our Impact
The TASI Cancer Project has made a significant impact in the regions of Dar es Salaam, Pwani, and Dodoma, reaching over 1000 individuals through health camps and screenings.
In Dar es Salaam, the project organized multiple health camps, providing screenings for cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes, benefiting over 700 people. In Pwani, TASI conducted regular health outreach programs, offering 200 screenings and providing nutritional counseling and medication to those in need. In Dodoma, the initiative held 3 large-scale health camps, where 100 people received health checkups, and few cases requiring follow-up care were identified. These efforts have significantly increased the early detection of non-communicable diseases, leading to timely interventions and improved health outcomes for underserved communities.
