Frequently asked questions
Do I need medical skills to volunteer?
No. Most roles (welcome, logistics, communication, awareness) are open to everyone. The prevention messages are presented when you join.
How much time do I need to give?
You decide: a few hours a month, one day at an event or a more regular commitment. Octobre Rose is when we need the most help.
Can men volunteer?
Yes, of course! Women’s cancers affect the whole family. Men are welcome to raise awareness, encourage their loved ones and help with organisation.
I live outside Lomé or abroad, can I help?
Yes: sharing on social media, fundraising, connecting us with partners… Tell us your city in the form and we will see together how you can help.
