Empowering Women to Prioritize Their Health and Well-Being

Many women experience feelings of fear, shame, and guilt when attempting to dedicate time to their own needs. Allocating even 1 to 2 hours for self-care often seems impossible and selfish.

The Reality of Breast Cancer and Self-Neglect

Breast cancer, the most common cancer among women, sometimes underscores the severity of self-neglect. Astonishingly, many women, even after enduring intense breast cancer treatments, claim they lack the time to participate in breast care and rehabilitation programs. They cite reasons such as children’s exams and family cooking duties—reasons that may seem trivial in comparison to their health needs.

This mindset is alarming. These women, who have faced life-threatening illness, still believe their families cannot function without them. They fail to realize that their absence, due to severe illness or worse, could lead to significant disruptions.

Challenging Deep-Seated Conditioning

This phenomenon highlights the profound conditioning many women undergo, which compels them to prioritize others over themselves. This self-sacrifice is ingrained, making it difficult for them to put their health first.

The Need for Courage and Change

“Sahasi” means courageous. It requires immense courage to break free from this conditioning and prioritize self-care. A healthy and happy woman can support her family, friends, and community more effectively and compassionately.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to teaching women how to make themselves happy and healthy. Our programs, offered on a voluntary donation basis for breast cancer survivors, aim to empower women to take control of their health and well-being.

Please do remember, your health is not a luxury; it is essential. By caring for yourself, you are not only improving your life but also enhancing your ability to care for others. It’s time to be courageous, prioritize your health, and happiness.
