During this time, BHI is raising funds to support women like Ana Gladys who received a positive cervical cancer diagnosis. Ana, a 47-year-old mother from El Salvador, was too ashamed and scared to seek treatment. BHI made sure that Ana was supported through the entire treatment process and provided transportation, lodging, and medication. Today, Ana’s cancer is in remission. She has become an outspoken advocate encouraging other women in her community to get screened early on.

BHI is committed to ensure that every woman encountered as part of our work is supported through the entire process so that she receives the treatment that she deserves.

Listen to Ana’s story here.

Our end-of-year campaign is dedicated to women with a positive cervical cancer diagnosis in underserved communities. BHI is committed to ensure that every woman encountered as part of our work is supported through the entire process so that she receives the treatment that she deserves.

Meet Vilma Dolores, a 34yo single mother of two who lives with her parents, siblings and their children in remote village in El Salvador. After she was diagnoses with advanced cervical cancer, Vilma felt overwhelmed and hopeless. Dr Torres, BHI's OB-GYN, and our team were on her side to support and guide Vilma through the treatment process.

=All donations are 100% matched by a generous benefactor!

Dedicamos nuestra campaña de fin de año a las mujeres con diagnóstico positivo de cáncer de cuello uterino en comunidades vulnerables. BHI se compromete a garantizar que todas las mujeres a las que apoyamos como parte de nuestro trabajo estén acompañadas durante todo el proceso para que obtengan el tratamiento que merecen.

Les presento a Vilma Dolores, una mujer de 34 años, madre soltera de dos hijos, que vive con sus padres, hermanos e hijos en un municipio remoto de El Salvador. Luego de haberle diagnosticado cáncer de cuello uterino en estadio avanzado, Vilma se sintió abrumada y desesperanzada. La Dra. Torres ginecóloga, colposcopista de BHI y nuestro equipo estuvieron a su lado para apoyarla y guiarla durante el proceso de tratamiento.

¡Todas las donaciones son igualadas al 100% por un generoso benefactor!
