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.

Nancy Githoitho

Founder

Nancy started Limau Cancer Connection after her mother succumbed to the disease. She is the recipient of several awards and nominations.
