Breast cancer accounts
for almost a quarter
of new cancer cases
among women.
who are we?
We are a local, Pretoria-based Breast Cancer Support Group, first started in 2015.
We had a long-held vision of providing support and education for women during breast cancer diagnosis, which has led to the support group.
Over the years, the demand for support increased, which led to our registration as a formal NPO with the Department of Social Development and with SARS as a Section 18 A tax exempt status Public Benefit Organisation.
our mission
Our mission is to educate, support and empower women across South Africa with information relating to this breast disease.
our vision
Our vision is to become a national leader in breast education.

BRCA SA, our story
When our mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42, my sisters and I embarked on our BRCA journey. However, in South Africa, we encountered a significant lack of resources and information about the BRCA gene, leaving us feeling lost and without guidance.
Our experience was incredibly challenging and frustrating. We are determined to share as much information as possible from our personal journey and provide support to others facing similar circumstances. Understanding your risk is crucial. Knowledge empowers us all. Know your risk, knowledge is power! Find out more
