This October, Oshikandela pinks up with purpose. Our limited-edition 2kg Strawberry is a gesture of love, awareness and support for Namibian women, families and communities affected by breast cancer.
According to JAMA Network breast cancer is the leading cancer among Namibian women, making up roughly 30% of new female cancers and about 20% of female cancer deaths. Every year, more than 500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Namibia, source: The Namibian
Regular self-checks and professional screenings help catch cancer early, greatly increasing treatment success. In Namibia, only around 30.7% of women aged 15-49 report doing breast self-exams, source: BioMed Central
