In Indonesia, 70% of breast cancer cases are detected at late stages, despite numerous early detection campaigns. These messages often fail to reach lower-class communities where awareness is critically needed. This phenomenon occurs because most breast cancer awareness campaigns happen in a digital world, where the middle-to-lower class often struggle with access.
Interestingly, Indonesia has a beloved traditional snack called kue tete or “boob cake,” known for its distinctive shape and random packaging designs that people enjoy reading. This presented a unique opportunity for Lovepink Indonesia, an organization focused on breast cancer awareness.
Lovepink Indonesia decided to replace the packaging of kue tete with a breast self-check guide. This simple yet innovative move turned a popular snack into an everyday awareness tool, delivering vital information to underserved communities.
With over 130 wrappers distributed through 1,800 sellers daily, Lovepink’s campaign potentially reaches 234,000 individuals each day. By using a relatable and culturally significant medium, the initiative ensures that critical health information penetrates deeper into communities that have been previously untouched by conventional campaigns.
This effort not only spreads awareness but also empowers women to take proactive steps for early detection, using a widely loved snack to spark important conversations about breast health.
