Many women would rather die than have their breasts removed— Orode Uduaghan

Two years ago, daughter of Delta State Governor, Orode Jade Uduaghan, took upon herself the burden of creating awareness against the dreaded breast cancer. From a humble beginning in the Delta State capital, her foundation, the Pink Pearl Foundation, has taken the campaign against breast cancer outside the shores of Delta State, to Lagos metropolis and to groups who call upon her foundation. As the world marks breast cancer awareness month this October, we caught up with Orode, once more, who sheds light on the activities of her foundation and efforts to save the lives of women. However, the psychology graduate says that there is a twist as some women say that they would rather die than have their breasts removed!
One year after, what is it like with Pink Pearl Foundation?
The work of the foundation has improved a lot. We’ve been able to get more hands on deck and more organizations supporting our cause. So, it’s been a whole lot better than last year.
It’s another breast cancer awareness month, what is your foundation doing this year?
This year, we are doing a lot. A while back, we were at Delta State University. We partnered with Amobi Okoye Foundation and the African Cancer Care Initiative to do a one-week health check programme in Koko, also in Delta State.
