Brit Equator Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to raising awareness of prostate and cervical cancer, promoting prevention, and improving access to free cancer screening for underserved communities. We believe that awareness and early detection save lives. Through health education, community outreach, free screening programmes, and advocacy, we empower individuals with the knowledge and support they need to reduce their risk, detect cancer early, and seek timely care.
I am Benjamin Afeli, a Cancer Awareness Advocate driven by a deep personal mission: Saving
lives through early detection.
My passion for cancer awareness was shaped by painful personal losses to cancer. These
experiences exposed me early on to the devastating impact of late diagnosis and the silence
that often surrounds cancer in our communities. From that moment, I knew I had to be part of
the solution.
I spent several years working in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in the United
Kingdom within cancer departments. There, I witnessed firsthand how early detection, routine
screenings, and timely intervention saved lives every day. These experiences strengthened my
belief that cancer does not have to be a death sentence; when it is caught early, survival
is possible.
Through this work, I am committed to turning awareness into action and ensuring that no one
is denied a fighting chance simply because they lacked information or access. Early
detection saves lives. Together, we can create a future where fewer
lives are lost to cancer.
