A child diagnosed with cancer in a high-income country has more than an 80% chance of being cured. In most low- and middle-income countries, the World Health Organization puts it below 30%. Closing that gap, starting here in India, is where we direct our charitable work.
- Medicines
- We supply life-saving medicines to NGOs treating children who could not otherwise afford them.
- Care around treatment
- We help fund nutrition, safe accommodation, laboratory services, nursing care and blood products for children going through treatment.
- Beyond treatment
- We organise events for these children and their families: moments of normality during months that have very little of it.
