This morning, Botswana Power Corporation commemorated Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Kanye by bringing together employees from Lobatse, Kanye, and Goodhope to share information and raise awareness about breast cancer.

Guest Speaker Mr. Thebe Lesole, Principal Health Officer from Kanye DHMT – Health Promotion Division, encouraged employees to regularly check and know their breasts to identify any abnormalities or changes such as nipple inversion, unusual discharge, or lumps, and to visit health facilities promptly for assessment.

Mr. Lesole also reflected on this year’s theme, “Every Story is Unique, Every Story Matters,” reminding participants that behind every cancer statistic is a real person — each with their own emotions, struggles, victories, and hopes. No two cancer journeys are the same, yet each story holds the power to inspire, educate, and bring comfort to others.

Ms Malebogo Paulos, a senior nurse from Kanye Adventist Clinic demonstrated the steps for monthly breast self-examination, emphasizing that early detection plays a crucial role in successful treatment and that cancer can be eliminated if detected early.

The initiative was proudly supported by Kanye DHMT as part of ongoing efforts to promote health awareness and encourage preventive care among BPC employees.
