RBH: A Breast Cancer Charity for Underserved Women

About Us

For many women in underserved especially in African population, breast cancer remains a death sentence. Barriers such as:

Misinformation about breast health,
Limited access to screenings
Inadequate Healthcare,
Cultural stigmas, and
Financial constraints
stand in the way of early detection and effective treatment.

The result? In Africa, 87% of breast cancer diagnoses occur at metastatic stages, where survival rates plummet to just 32%. Even in Australia, African women have low participation in the free national breast screening program, leading to late diagnoses and higher mortality rates.

" At RBH, we believe every woman deserves a fighting chance—a chance to detect breast cancer early, access timely care, and receive the support she needs to overcome it."

By raising awareness and funds, RBH ensures underserved women in Australia and Africa gain access to:

Breast Cancer Screening
Timely Diagnosis and Comprehensive Treatment
Practical and Emotional Support

We are on a mission to save lives by improving breast cancer outcomes for underserved women. Our work focuses on breaking down the barriers that prevent women in these communities from seeking and receiving life-saving care

Barriers to breast cancer care disproportionately affect women in underserved communities. In Australia, African women have the lowest participation in the national screening program, leading to late diagnoses and higher mortality rates. Across Africa, the lack of accessible screening and equitable care leave countless women without a chance for early detection or life-saving treatment.

RBH was founded to address this urgent need, breaking barriers and saving lives through education, access, and advocacy.

What We Do

Raise Awareness: Empowering women with knowledge for early detection and breast health.
Fund Access: Raising money to provide access to life-saving screenings and treatments for underserved women, regardless of location or financial background.
Support Communities: Offering practical and emotional support to women and their families.

Founding Story

The Birth Of RBH: From Heartbreak to Lifeline

RBH was founded in 2021 by Benita and Bernard Omewu, driven by their firsthand experience of the devastating impact of breast cancer. Growing up in Nigeria, they watched countless women lose their lives to late diagnoses and a lack of care. Mothers, sisters, and daughters were taken far too soon, leaving families shattered and children motherless.

When Benita moved to Australia, she experienced a profound shift. As a mammographer with BreastScreen NSW, she saw how early detection and accessible healthcare could save lives. The power of a simple mammogram—routine and free—was undeniable.

But her heart remained with the underserved women she left behind:

Women battling cultural stigmas and financial constraints.
Women in Australia’s African diaspora and across Africa who still lacked access to basic breast health care.

With a fire to bridge this gap, Rose Breast Health was born.

“No woman should lose her life to breast cancer because of where she lives or who she is. Together, we can stop this.
