Since August 2016, a Scout Group in the Burkina Faso capital of Ouagadougou initiated a Breast Cancer Awareness project to help the community better understand and prevent breast cancer disease. This was out of the realization that many people suffer from the disease due to lack of correct and timely information. The campaign focused on highlighting the causes, signs and symptoms, consequences and treatment of the disease. Working with specialists Doctors the male and female population living in the peri urban parts of the city received specialized consultation services in the treatment of the disease. During the whole month, they traveled through four peri urban areas (Bassinko, Nonghin, Bissinghin, Rimkieta) of the city of Ouagadougou conducting door-to-door awareness about the disease aided by images representing the different symptoms, the stages of the evolution of Breast Cancer, the methods of identification of the cyst together with supporting explanations. This initiative by the Scouts of Ouagadougou, has aroused anxiety and curiosity among the populations, especially the female population. Some of the people have come out and enrolled for diagnosis in order to understand their status in relation to the disease and get treatment or just for them to achieve peace of mind. The project has also demystified perceptions held by people about the disease and the shyness to talk about it. As a result of the project already one woman has reported to having gotten tested and is now on curative treatment. (Contributions from Rene Bayili)
