Challenge

In Mexico, child cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among the little ones. Each year, around 5,000 new cases are diagnosed and the survival rate is less than 50%. However, if detected, diagnosed and treated on time -and consistently-, it can be mostly curable.

Solution

We strive to meet 4 guidelines: timely detection, early care, proper treatment and treatment fidelity. With you donation, we can strengthen the second one and provide special studies, medicines, prostheses and endoprotheses.

Long-Term Impact

Increase the survival rate of low-income girls, boys and young people who suffer from cancer in Mexico, by providing a custom-made, comprehensive and free of cost treatment. "Where you live in the world, should not determine whether you live in the world." -Bono
