We improve the quality of life for low-income children and adolescents suffering from cancer.
Who are we?
We transform the experience of childhood cancer into a journey of hope and continuity. We are a nonprofit organization that provides psychosocial and nutritional support to children and adolescents with cancer and their families. We help address social and economic barriers to ensure that no child has to interrupt their treatment.
Our Value Proposition
SET Model: We support the child and their family throughout every stage of treatment. Stabilizer: Psychosocial and nutritional support for the child. Strengthener: Emotional well-being and economic empowerment for the caregiver. Connector: Strategic partnerships to make care sustainable.
Issues We Address
Childhood cancer in Colombia requires care that goes beyond medicine. We intervene promptly to address the barriers families face: Risk of treatment interruption: Comprehensive support to overcome economic, transportation, and geographic barriers. Nutritional health and caregiver burden: Nutritional support for the child, along with emotional and economic support for the caregiver. Access gaps and vulnerability: Direct coordination between the hospital diagnosis and the reality of the home.
