Support in Rwanda

Breast Cancer Initiative East
Africa

Join us as we revolutionize breast cancer awareness, education and support in Rwanda. As the pioneers of breast cancer awareness, education, access to care and support in the country, we have dedicated the past 17 years to building a foundation where none existed.

From the heart of Rwanda, we are reimagining what a nonprofit can be — not as charity, but as a catalyst. Rooted in the rhythm of our communities and powered by the intelligence of our time, this mission is a living blueprint — where AI meets empathy, where survivors lead the way, and where youth rise not only to learn, but to build.

Transforming Breast Cancer Awareness and Support in Rwanda!

As the first and only breast cancer organization dedicated to awareness and education in Rwanda, we have established ourselves as trailblazers in raising awareness about this disease and providing active support to the Community at large.

We are transforming breast health in Rwanda by not only providing life-saving early detection, but also building a sustainable, community-driven healthcare model that can be replicated across Africa, creating lasting systemic change.

Revolutionizing Breast Cancer Support: A Transformative,
AI-Powered Approach to Awareness, Care, and Empowerment

Imagine someone in Rwanda — a woman in a remote village, a student in Kigali, or even a man who never thought breast cancer could affect him — being seen, supported, and potentially saved by a system that feels personal, powerful, and smart. That’s the future we’re creating. We’re designing the nonprofit of tomorrow — today, in Rwanda.
We’re building an AI-powered, survivor-driven, and community-rooted ecosystem that tackles breast cancer in Rwanda and beyond — by combining care, education, awareness, technology, economic opportunity, and data.

Help Us Scale Awarness Across Rwanda

Revolutionizes breast health access by integrating AI-powered screening, accredited education, and community-driven engagement into a unified, scalable platform.

Strengthens and expands healthcare capacity by training frontline health workers, easing specialist shortages, and building sustainable early detection systems.

Creates a replicable model in Rwanda that strengthens local healthcare infrastructure and serves as a blueprint for expanding accessible, sustainable breast health solutions across Africa.

THE COMIC BOOK SERIES 
THAT SAVES LIVES!

Harnessing the power of storytelling and emotional resonance, our adult graphic novels/comics are revolutionizing health education in Rwanda. At the heart of our series are real-life superheroes—survivors whose compelling health journeys inspire and educate. Our comics  are far more than entertaining stories—they contain embedded QR codes linking readers directly to our educational resources and screening registration. As these materials circulate through communities, they serve as both awareness tools and gateways to our services.

THE PINK HOUSE
EXPANSION PROJECT

We are expanding our Wellness House, lovingly referred to as the Pink House. It serves as the mothership of our organization. This unique facility serves multiple purposes, including providing a safe and comfortable transitional overnight space for rural patients traveling to and from treatment in Kigali. Pink House is where education, screening and community support happens. It is not merely a place to rest; it is a haven where support capacity is built, the community connects, and patients find direct support, solace, and a sense of community during their challenging journeys.

"On my journey to recovering from breast cancer, BCIEA provided me with incredible support. The most life-changing help I received was a breast prosthesis, which restored my confidence and comfort."

"Before BCIEA, survivors like me had to buy expensive silicone breast prostheses, which many could not afford. But BCIEA introduced Made-in-Rwanda knitted breast prostheses and provided them to us completely free of charge. This made a huge difference in my life. Beyond that, BCIEA staff and fellow survivors supported me during my lowest moments. There was a time when I felt hopeless and alone, but the people I met at the Pink House encouraged me and helped me regain my strength. Today, I live with confidence and no longer fear for my future—all thanks to BCIEA."
