The Black Women Rising Cancer Support Proj¬ect (BWRCSP) has been launched in Accra with a call on survivors of the disease to muster courage to share their stories to encourage the newly diagnosed.
The project is the flagship programme of the Leanne Pero Foundation, a registered UK Charity, offering help, informa¬tion and practical advice for people that have been diag¬nosed with cancer.
The initiative will help can¬vass support for many breast cancer patients and survivors in Ghana, while increasing aware¬ness about breast cancer in the country.
It is expected to kick-off in October in collaboration with the Breast Society of Ghana (BSoG), Breast Care Interna¬tional and other notable groups championing the cause of breast cancer awareness in Ghana.
Speaking at the official launch held at the residence of the British High Commissioner to Ghana, Ms Leanne Pero, a breast cancer survivor and founder of BWRCSP, she said “Black Women Rising is the support group I cre¬ated after my treatment and it has really been helpful to many breast cancer fighters. I, there¬fore, would like to encourage survivors to share their stories of survival and hope, to encour¬age people fighting this dreadful disease.”
“Let us develop the habit of speaking more about breast can¬cer to increase awareness.”
According to Ms Pero, she and her team were in Ghana to assess the breast cancer situa¬tion in the country and offer the needed support.
She disclosed that the project team would also visit Nigeria to assess the situation there.
On his part, the Deputy British High Commissioner to Ghana, Mr Keith McMahon, commended the group for the initiative in Ghana, adding that it would go a long way to save more lives.
He regretted the devastat¬ing effects of breast cancer on families and called for more initiatives geared at combating the disease.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
