The current Miss Culture Malawi, Memory Sanjila has been appointed as Awareness ambassador for the Cervical Cancer for Community of Sant’Egidio on the 11th of august.
Community of Sant’ Egidio Sangare Hawa Mamary said tha Malawi is ranking on position two in the world when it comes to deaths among women due to cervical cancer, and this is so because of lack of awareness hence this is where Miss Culture Malawi comes in to help raise awareness, especially among women in rural areas.
On her part, Sanjila said as a young woman herself, she is devoted to help raise awareness on cervical cancer which she said is posing a threat to the future of girls and women if not detected early or avoided through vaccines.
Sanjila, who said she lost her father to cancer in 2015, said she will help raise awareness using her influence as a beauty queen for girls to get a cervical cancer vaccine and for women to be screened regularly.
in addition The Community of Sant’Egidio director of finance and administration Mathambo said She is best-placed to raise awareness on the disease since she is a culture enthusiast. Therefore She will have the best approach that will not only promote acceptance, but also make sure that we are not disregarding our culture
According to statistics, Malawi registers over 400 000 new cases of cervical cancer every year with at least 295 000 deaths every year due to the disease
