Because Every Patient Matters

Limau Cancer Connection is a survivor-led movement dedicated to early detection, dignity, and access to breast cancer care in Kenya. We stand with families living on a dollar a day, ensuring that no woman is forced to choose between feeding her children and saving her own life. From mobile screenings to survivor-led support, we are turning the "lemons" of a broken system into the "lemonade" of life-saving change.
