Welcome to PinkDrive
Promoting awareness and early detection of, and screening for gender-related cancers in the general population of South Africa, using the message “Early detection will help to prolong a life.”
Our vision is to be the leading non-governmental organisation dedicated to creating and promoting awareness about cancer in South Africa, and potentially beyond.

PinkDrive On The Move
Follow our Mobile Health Units as we travel across South Africa, taking much needed health services to citizens without access to reasonable healthcare who reside in areas where health services do not reach, with the message “Early detection will help to prolong a life.”
About PinkDrive
PinkDrive NPC, a health sector NGO, was founded in 2009 by Ms. Noelene Kotschan, on the premise that “Early detection will help to prolong a life.” PinkDrive’s cardinal purpose is to contribute meaningfully towards preventing as many people as it can, from succumbing to breast, cervical, prostate and testicular cancer. It’s primary focus is on citizens without access to reasonable care for these conditions, and who reside in areas where health services do not reach.
It recognises that treatable cancers receiving even the basic levels of care, could translate into varying lengths of extended life for the afflicted, when detected and treated early. It’s posture is ostensibly a promoter of health awareness in general, and specifically health education and heightening awareness of gender-related cancers in South Africa.
