ABOUT US
DAIVYAN Children Cancer Foundation was birthed to provide medical and financial support to children and parents of children with all forms of childhood cancer. Our focus is to facilitate early detection/diagnosis; research and education; as well as treatment and post-treatment intensive care. As parents who have gone through the burden of caring for a child through all the processes of cancer treatment, we will be providing access to relevant, accurate information, as well as emotional and practical support to parents in this situation.
Our strategy is to involve kids in school to create awareness; engage parents in group discussions to facilitate learning and adoption of cultural lessons for parental support; set up a dedicated care center for children with cancer; bring together stakeholders as focal facilitators of funding and community action towards ensuring childhood cancer projects are executed with assured and measured impact; initiate hospital and corporate partnerships to help manage incidences and cancer emergencies.
We rely majorly on donations from concerned Corporates, Individuals and Sponsors of children with cancer. Funds raised are used to provide all-encompassing support – from direct practical help to the children and their families and those involved in the treatment – to necessary equipment.
