With the support of EUMAM MOZ, the prostheses were handed over to the Associação da Luta Contra o Cancro (Association for the Fight Against Cancer), with the Breast Unit of Maputo Central Hospital as their final destination. The initiative aims to contribute to the well-being, confidence and quality of life of women facing the challenges associated with breast cancer.

The initiative took place as part of Pink October, an international awareness campaign that highlights the importance of prevention, early diagnosis and support for people affected by the disease. Beyond raising awareness, this initiative also demonstrates the importance of practical acts of solidarity that can make a difference in women's lives.

The collaboration between EUMAM MOZ, As Rosinhas and the Mozambican institutions involved highlights the value of cooperation and joint efforts in support of the community, strengthening the ties between the Mission and Mozambican society.

By supporting this initiative, EUMAM MOZ reaffirms the importance of solidarity and its commitment to the well-being of local communities, showing that cooperation is also about supporting and caring for people.
