Flames Of Hope’s Adepa Breast Form Project Gets A Boost

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Telecel Ghana Foundation, in
partnership with the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation, organized a special edition of its
flagship health outreach programme, Healthfest, in New Atuabo, Tarkwa, in the
Western Region on 10th December 2025.

A key highlight of the programme was the donation five sewing machines and two
knitting machines to the Flames of Hope Foundation in support of the ADEPA Breast
Foam Project. Through this initiative, Flames of Hope is poised to set up its Sewing
Centre to produce locally made and affordable breast prostheses for women who
have undergone mastectomy, a surgical procedure to remove one or both breasts to
treat the cancer. The breast prosthesis significantly enhances the confidence of
breast cancer survivors and patients who have lost one or both breasts.

The donation will help expand production capacity significantly while equipping
survivors with new skills and sustainable livelihoods. For many women, imported
prostheses remain costly and out of reach.
