OVERVIEW
SUPPORT ASSOCIATION for FIBROID AWARENESS (SAFA) is a not-for-profit enterprise (foundation)
We are commited to raising awareness of fibroids, improving women’s health, providing help, counselling and support for women living with fibroids in Nigeria and Africa at large.
The foundation will be positioned as a global standard advocacy group for engaging, educating, empowering and effecting change regarding fibroid support in Nigeria and by extension the West African region.
Through its initiatives, the foundation will emphasize the critical importance of early diagnosis and effective intervention while simultaneously providing education to the community of medical professionals, their patients, and the general public.
Our Initiatives
At SAFA, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of women living with fibroids through a multi-pronged approach focused on education, advocacy, and research. We believe that every woman deserves access to accurate information and unwavering support.
Education and Awareness
We organize workshops and webinars led by medical professionals and patient advocates, providing in-depth information and fostering open discussions about fibroids. We also curate online forums and support groups where women can connect, share their experiences, and offer encouragement to one another.
Advocacy and Policy Change
We engage with government officials to advocate for improved access to treatment, and better healthcare policies for women with fibroids. We challenge societal misconceptions and harmful stereotypes surrounding fibroids, promoting understanding and inclusivity.
Research and Innovation
We work on projects aimed at understanding the causes of fibroids, developing better diagnoses, and exploring new non-invasive treatment options. We champion the need for personalized treatment plans that cater to each woman’s unique needs and circumstances.
Supporting You Through Fibroids
Navigating a diagnosis of fibroids can be overwhelming, and finding the right treatment is even more so. We understand the unique challenges you face, so we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive support throughout your journey.
