ONE WIG STAND is a non-profit organization based in Lebanon dedicated to improving the lives of women and families experiencing the hardships of breast cancer. One Wig Stand takes a hands-on approach to increasing awareness about the disease among young women while also providing support for breast cancer patients through its engaging campaigns. The NGOs work also focuses on developing projects that adapt to the local culture so as to encourage early detection, to eliminate the taboo still attached to the disease in our part of the world and to ultimately improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with breast cancer.
