About Me

Hi, I am Ritika Dolas
23 years old, from Thane - Maharashtra.
I have completed my Bachelor’s in Food Science and Technology from D.Y. Patil University and currently working in Mondelez International.
Influenced by my parent’s ideology of “service above self” and their contribution to the social causes, I decided to follow their footsteps. In 2022, I got an opportunity to work with FPAI. Ms. Shweta Naik and Dr. K.S. Rao appraised me on the grave issue of cervical cancer and guided me on the importance of Cervical Cancer Screening and Testing. Looking at the need I started crowdfunding for this noble cause!
This is my second fundraising effort for the cervical cancer cause. Previously, in 2022, I raised Rs. 1,15,000/- for the Thane District Project.

Appeal

Cervical
cancer is the 2 nd leading cause of cancer deaths in women aged 15 to 44 years
in India. The Human Papilloma virus (HPV) is the cause of almost all cases of
cervical cancer.

Despite cervical cancer being largely preventable with timely vaccination
against HPV and regular screening, many remain unaware of these life-saving
measures. The high occurrence of cervical cancer and related deaths in India is
attributed to low literacy, poor screening, low awareness, social inequality,
stigma, and poverty.

FPA India
leveraged the TMM 2024 platform to launch an impactful campaign titled, "
Race to Erase Cervical Cancer" . We continue this fight against cervical
cancer in association with TMM 2025, with renewed urgency and commitment,
accelerating our efforts to eradicate cervical cancer in India. Building on
last year’s work, we are intensifying our efforts to extend our reach and
ensure that more people benefit from essential prevention and treatment
services.

With your
support, we will:

1. Raise
Awareness: Educate communities about cervical cancer and its preventability.

2. Promote HPV Vaccination: Reduce vaccine hesitancy, support costs towards
buying and provisioning of HPV vaccination.

3. Enhance Screening: Conduct cervical cancer screenings along with treatment
and referrals for continuum of care, as indicated

Your
donation will make a powerful impact. Help us protect lives and secure futures.
Act now to be part of this crucial mission!

Join us in this critical mission to
eradicate cervical cancer!!
