October is globally recognized as Pink October, a month dedicated to raising awareness, spreading hope, and showing support to those affected by breast cancer. At NRS DT SACCO, we believe in walking hand-in-hand with our members not just financially, but also in promoting their overall well-being.
This year, on October 15th, as the world marks World Breast Cancer Awareness Day, NRS DT SACCO staff will wear the pink ribbon fastened with a safety pin as a symbol of solidarity with individuals and families affected by breast cancer. We wear pink not just as a colour, but as a commitment to care, to support, and to stand together.
