Solve the
childhood cancer
crisis in India.
Feed the fight. Partner with us.
Beating childhood cancer starts with eating well.
Childhood cancer is mostly curable. But for children in India, it’s a very different story. Lack of access to timely treatment and a 40% malnutrition rate among those seeking care is making survival difficult for our children.
Why we say #FoodHeals
97%
children are more likely to stick with their treatment plan when nutrition is a part of it.*
82%
of our patients improved or maintained their nutritional status despite cancer therapy.
