Early Detection Saves Lives
Since our founding in 2007, SewHope has screened more than 25,600 women for cervical cancer. In 2024 alone, we performed 7,472 Pap smears and procedures, helping to detect and prevent this life-threatening disease. Last year, we diagnosed 70 women with cervical cancer. To put that into perspective, since she began practicing medicine, Dr. Anne Ruch has seen 2 cases of full-blown cervical cancer in the United States. In their own words, listen to how SewHope saved one family🙏

Our students' learning is enhanced with access to personalized, online programs such as Khan Academy and Raz Kids, small group lessons, hands-on agriculture projects on SewHope's property and the opportunity to learn from local professionals about career paths. |
