Breast Cancer campaign

ASB Promotes Breast Cancer Awareness Across Kirkuk Governorate!
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, ASB implements an extensive awareness campaign across Kirkuk Governorate as part of an ongoing health project funded by BMZ. The campaign, led by the Department of Health in Kirkuk, began on October 12 and will continue until October 30, 2025.
Throughout this period, ASB is organizing daily awareness sessions for women in Al-Rashad, Riyadh, and Tel Ali PHCCs, rehabilitated by ASB and Hawija hospital, where ASB provided a Mammography machine. Around 35 women per day in each center are receiving awareness on early detection, risk factors, symptoms, and the importance of regular screening.
💗 The campaign also includes:
A community engagement workshop at the Kirkuk Government Building, bringing together local authorities, health directorates, and community leaders to strengthen collaboration on women’s health initiatives.
Public awareness activities at Kirkuk Mall on October 21, engaging the wider community in conversations about breast cancer prevention.
Free mammography screening at Hawija Hospital, encouraging women to take proactive steps toward early detection and timely treatment.
Educational materials are being distributed to raise awareness among community members.
Through this initiative, ASB supports DoH in its efforts to promote early detection, and build healthier, more informed communities in Kirkuk and beyond. 💗

🌱 Greening Baiji: A Community-Led Step Toward a Cleaner Future

From September 30 to October 1, ASB Iraq, in coordination with the Baiji Municipality, launched a focused tree-planting campaign to support the Iraqi Ministry of Environment’s afforestation efforts in Salahaddin Governorate.

A total of 350 trees were planted in underserved areas of Baiji, helping to improve air quality, restore green spaces, and enhance the city’s landscape.

This initiative reflects ASB’s ongoing commitment under the Climate Charter, signed in 2024, to promote climate resilience and environmental sustainability in Iraq.

Together with the community, we’re building a greener, cleaner, and more resilient future, one tree at a time. 🌳💚
