In a sustained effort to combat breast cancer and promote early detection among Nigerian women, STL Capital Group has reaffirmed its partnership with the Care Organisation Public Enlightenment (COPE), extending its three-year collaboration that has so far provided free screenings for over 300 women and reached thousands more through awareness campaigns.

Speaking at the latest screening event, the Managing Director of STL Trustees, Funmi Ekundayo, described the initiative as one of the company’s most impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes.

She noted that the partnership with COPE had helped raise awareness on the importance of early detection and encouraged women to prioritise their health.

The event, which took place in Lagos over the weekend, brought together many women who took part in free breast cancer screenings and health awareness sessions

Ekundayo said, “At STL, we have several CSR projects we partner with different organisations on, but I can tell you that one of the CSR projects that is very close and dear to our hearts is the one for breast cancer awareness. We’ve been supporting and partnering with COPE for about three years now, this is the third year, because we see the impact we are able to make with this free screening for about 100 women and more each year.”
