Know Your Lemons Foundation Inc

Incredible organization and partner to The Young Breast Cancer Project. Their efforts to provide breast health education worldwide are unparallelled.

Know Your Lemons has been an outstanding partnership for Project Mammogram. The educational materials and information has helped us start a community education program to increase breast health education in our community. Breast health education, with the help of KYL, and access to life saving screening mammograms with Project Mammogram is a perfect match to help the women of our community!

The graphics displaying 12 symptoms of cancer has had a massive impact for good on the community of women's health. Women feel empowered to speak up for their own health. The free education programme allows us to move this message forward and ensure that more people are diagnosed earlier with much better outcomes for them and their families.

This foundation is an excellent source of information for both patients and mammography technologist!! I love the way they relay information to patients in a very easy to understand manner!!

Early education to young adults and under represented populations around breast health and what to look out for breast cancer risks. Very well done program which is not scary but very informative for the general population.

Know your lemons is a wonderful foundation that focuses on educating women for how to assess their breasts monthly for breast cancer. Their use of lemons to depict boobs is a less intimidating way to educate and makes the experience less frightening. In addition they have built an app to log these checks and document any changes that may be seen/felt.

I wish the Know Your Lemons Foundation already existed when I got diagnosed with breastcancer in 2019. I was so happy when I found out about this foundation, especially their app which is free to download and includes all the information one needs when it comes to breastcancer. Thanks to Sabrina Skiles I got introduced to de KYL app, she’s been diagnosed with breastcancer as well and I started to follow her on Instagram since my own breastcancer journey back in 2019. I think everyone should get informed about the different signs of breastcancer and the KYL Foundation supplies this information in a clear and playful way. They literally save lives with their app!

Hi! I'm IRAKOZE Aime, and I'm a medical imaging student currently based in Rwanda.

As a health care professional, I found The Know Your Lemons foundation on social media. I really liked it's mission of improving men and women's breast health through empowering and creative education. Breast cancer being the common problem around the World pushed me to be a Lemonista so that I will be able to help my local community with early detection of breast cancer through breast health education. Therefore, I recommend everyone to prioritize her/his breast health through using the KYL app for breast screening schedules and other Know Your Lemons educational tools. You can also register for trainings and become a Lemonista to teach your community about early detection of Breast Cancer. That's what we do as Lemonistas.

Thank you!!!

KYL does a fantastic job of educating people about breast health in a refreshing way. The use of lemons makes the information easy to understand and takes the stigma away from talking about breasts and your breast health. I am proud to be one of their global educators and know we are saving lives by giving people the education they need to detect breast cancer at an early stage.

Know Your Lemons is a remarkable non-profit organization that has made significant strides in breast cancer awareness globally. Their innovative approach of using visual aids depicting symptoms of breast cancer through the analogy of lemons is both ingenious and effective. By educating the public in such a visually compelling manner, Know Your Lemons has empowered countless individuals to recognize potential signs of breast cancer early on, thereby increasing the chances of early detection and successful treatment.

The organization's dedication to spreading awareness is commendable as it directly contributes to reducing the number of people diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer. Through their efforts, Know Your Lemons not only educates individuals but also encourages proactive health behaviors and regular screenings, ultimately saving lives.

In a world where awareness can mean the difference between life and death, Know Your Lemons stands out as a beacon of hope and knowledge. Their commitment to making vital health information accessible and understandable deserves praise and support from communities worldwide.

Know Your Lemons has helped me understand breast health and the signs and symptoms of breast health in such an engaging and empowering way. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. I saw one of their 12 signs and symptoms of breast cancer images on Twitter/X and started sharing it with my online community. I've never seen breast health and breast cancer education information created in such an easy-to-understand way. I haven't stopped sharing about Know Your Lemons and I'm so grateful to have this information to share with my community!

It's a wonderful privilege to be KYL Educator.

Awareness of Breast Cancer makes easier with the 12 symptoms as shown @KYL

It has been a great privilege to join Know your lemons Volunteers and help change the picture of breast cancer for good!

With Know your Lemons foundation we had Simple practical ways to share breast health with our community. It's amazing!

I have only been with this organization for a short time but I have learned so much about this important health topic, and about the amazing people who have been affected by Breast Cancer. I am a true believer in self exams and knowing your body, and Know Your Lemons has allowed me to share important tools with my friends, family and community!

I am very happy to share with my Burundian community the knowledge about breast cancer while raising awareness in a good atmosphere with the Know Your Lemon module and until today there are girls and women who are always grateful for the awereness raising.

It's been a wonderfull experience being part of the volunteers at Know Your Lemons. Sharing knowledge in a fun, interesting and interactive way and being able to raise awareness on breast cancer, aiming early breast cancer detection in our communities.

Know Your Lemons have been a real game-changer in our campaigns of breast cancer in Burundi, East Africa. It is amazing how their materials are easy-to-use in differents places. It is doesn't matter if your are a large or small group. Either I have 5minutes or an hour, I always have a material I can use to raise awareness on breast cancer. Moreover, the KYL materials are so friendly, that we don't have to worry where breast health is a taboo. Because all we share is the right information, with the right image.

Know your Lemons is a great organization which is working superb to spread the awareness around the globe. I love being a part of this chain and enjoy teaching women about the breast cancer so that they are aware of their risk factors. Together we can reach our goal!

As a breast cancer survivor myself, it is the ultimate way to give back to the community by teaching others about breast cancer.

Prevention is the key to better life. KYL is the best ������

After my grandma passed away from breast cancer, I was very scared. Know your lemons educate and help with problems. As an educator, I learned for myself, but also how to educate and help others.
The app also further educates, helps me with my monthly check. The video for this is very helpful and the actually scary topic is presented a bit with humor.

I like educating and talking to other educators, they are great!

Amazing nonprofit! I love their message of women's empowerment, by teaching how to find breast cancer early in a fun and colorful way.

Their app and educational materials make breast cancer awareness seem friendly and accessible. I love having the app to not only remind me of when to do self-exams, but also walk me through *how* to do one properly. It goes much further than ribbons or banners, but without making me wade through dense material or look at scary images. A great service!

I love handing out cards at my seed exchanges. I even had one lady who had a symptom and went to get tested because of the 12 signs. This image helps to empower us women to both know our body AND be confident to work up about changes.

The image of lemons presenting 12 symptoms of breast cancer helped me to detect my illness at the early stage and probably saved my life. So that now I am proud to be a volunteer educator in the Know Your Lemons Foundation and to spread this knowledge and to improve early detection for breast cancer in my surrounding.

I was looking for graphic material to raise awareness for breast cancer, when I came accross the iconic Know Your Lemons 12 signs of breast cancer. They were just perfect: no taboos and no text needed, so everyone can understand. I started following the foundation and thought I could also contribute. I am part of a few organisations and also via my own business I felt I could do more and mark a difference. As a Global Breast Health Educator in Italy, I hope I can raise more awareness and save precious lives. Thank you KYL!!!

Great nonprofit with a serious message with a fun graphic.

The Know Your Lemons foundation is like no other!! They have unique educational material that has helped me and many whom I love better understand the signs of breaking cancer.

Know Your Lemons is about sharing life saving information in an accessible, engaging and memorable way. It's a genius campaign and I'm proud to be a volunteer with their Global Educator programme.

KYL is the first breast cancer foundation that I have came across which primarily focuses on education for early detection. Being a daughter of a breast cancer patient, I have always been keen on supporting and being a part of a breast cancer charity but I struggled to find the ones that fit my profile i.e someone who is not a breast cancer patient.

When I found the 12 signs of breast cancer (lemons) images, I was surprised because I did not know about it. After going through their materials, I learnt more about breast health and was confident about myself. Not to mention the app is just amazing!!

I have encountered lots of charities that advocate for early detection but none of them have talked about breast health and use materials as effective as KYL has. The materials impacted me so much that I decided to become a Global Health Educator.

Being an educator with KYL is a fulfilling adventure as I have seen the positive impact I have made to the people that I taught.

I am a breast cancer survivor! My aim is to spread breast cancer awarness and this amazing Nonprofit gave me the inspiration and the instruments to make my voice louder and clearer. Spreading love and information! ������������

Know Your Lemons is an incredible nonprofit to volunteer with. Everything they create is so clear and easy to understand, all while being packed full of information. Corrine and Aysha are so involved and hands on with the educators and always make sure we have the tools we need to succeed. I am incredibly proud to be a KYL Educator, and am always looking for more ways to share.

Sharing clear information, using the lemons, has made it much easier for me to help women understand what's normal for them! We have fun with the lemons..showing what to look for on a ������ instead of pictures of breasts, which are beautiful, though some women are shy about their bodies. This charity has made sharing quality information easy.

I joined Know Your Lemons as a global breath health educator this year after using one of their infographics to share info with women who were asking me questions after my own breast cancer diagnosis in 2019. I first found out about Know Your Lemons after seeing on of their most popular images- the lemons with the 12 symptoms of breast cancer- during a search on the internet.

In 2021, after getting more and more questions from persons, I felt a urge to join some kind of breast cancer Foundation and as a teacher by profession felt that one that focused on educating persons re breast cancer might be the way to go. I found out Know Your Lemons had a course to become a global educator with their foundation. I was apprehensive at first because 'chemo brain/fog' is still very present in my life, but the course seemed manageable and the way being a global educator was presented made me ever more determined to become one.

From the time I expressed my interest in becoming a certified educatoI have felt part of a family. I have emailed Aysha, the community manager with so many questions as I am the first in my country to become a global educator and she has always answered with patience and has never made me feel as if I am nuisance.

The course they provide to become one of their educators was comprehensive, easy to fit into my schedule and was at no cost to me, which made it even better. After completion, though nervous, I felt ready and able to begin volunteering. The regular online meetings with other educators around the world is awesome. We share ideas, troubleshoot with each other & simple message for help brings so many offers.

They make it easy to find resources and for me to teach classes in person and online. This has given my life a new dimension after my diagnosis and I support the work they continue to do! I hope to remain a volunteer educator with Know Your Lemons as long as I am physically able.

Just joined as a global educator. Thrilled to be a part of this mission to help women all over the world.

Being a know your lemons educator is one of the achievements that i am most proud of.
As a community paramedic i use the teaching aids in every consultation i can. The KYL team are so supportive of everything its educators do and being part of the group is like having an extended family to support you. If you want to make a difference, please join the educator team.

An amazing charity that has allowed me to educate women in my local area in how to look after themselves and what to.look out for with regards to breast cancer. Women have found lumps and been diagnosed with cancer through having shared the info with them.

One of the main reasons I found my breast cancer lump was from seeing the iconic lemon cart picture that Know Your Lemons created! It told me all the symptoms to feel for and it turned out that I had one of them! I found mine early due to the hard work Know Your Lemons has done! I have subsequently joined their team as a global educator and they have been so welcoming!

I’ve become an educator since January 2021 and have been educating communities in Borneo. KYL methods are engaging and easy to follow.

Wonderful to be able to educate in my community as a volunteer and improve breast health.

This nonprofit has helped myself, my mother, and my grandmother in more ways that I can count. I give the cards away whenever I get the chance.
