Transforming Lives in Kenya
Working with local communities and healthcare professionals, PINCC has improved cervical cancer care in Kenya for over 15 years. PINCC prioritizes building self-sufficient healthcare systems, ensuring women have consistent access to life-saving healthcare, and fighting cervical cancer.
Over the past eight years (2017–2024), our work in Kenya has made a remarkable impact in the fight against cervical cancer. Some of the significant progress we’ve achieved includes
Reduced Mortality: In Kenya, cervical cancer deaths have been reduced significantly over the past 8 years, saving more than 3,000 lives.
Improved Global Ranking: Kenya moved from 19th to 26th in world rankings for cervical cancer deaths, reflecting healthcare progress.
Effective Healthcare: Screenings, HPV vaccines, and treatments for cervical cancer appear to have improved access to this prevention method.
Continuing Need: Despite progress, Kenya's ranking indicates the need for continued education, screening programs, and improvements in healthcare.
Conquering Cervical Cancer in Bolivia
In November 2023, PINCC launches a groundbreaking three-year program in Bolivia, revolutionizing cervical cancer prevention. Partnering with 5 U.S. Rotary Clubs and Bolivia's Rotary Club Ubari, the initiative introduces advanced HPV self-testing and thermal ablation treatment for HPV-positive women. The IRB is affiliated with Tours University in Vallejo, California, overseeing an ongoing study on the feasibility of HPV self-testing among women in Bolivia. By prioritizing early intervention and prevention, this program sets a powerful precedent in the fight against cervical cancer, offering hope and improved care for women in Bolivia.

Our Pledge To Sustainability
Education and sustainability are key components of PINCC's mission, empowering communities to thrive. Local medical professionals receive intensive training to conduct screenings, identify precancerous conditions, and treat them. Providing women with consistent access to life-saving care is ensured by these efforts, which ensure ongoing, self-sustaining programs beyond the presence of PINCC. With the goal of empowering communities to combat cervical cancer independently, PINCC promotes a sustainable healthcare model that transforms lives.
