Hello Friends

Dear Friends,

Kidzcan has had an exciting quarter! One of the most exciting happenings is that Media Matrix produced a short film to show case our work. We hope to raise awareness and funding through this film. If you have not yet seen it please click on the following link, watch, like and share with your network: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76fkoZE4yAc

On the funding side Kidzcan was awarded a two year grant from ELMA Philanthropies and we had our first Spring Ball at the Glass house which raised over $30, 000! 

In brief here’s where we are at from May –August 2014:

  • 309 children assisted and rising! 
  • The early detection programme kicked off this quarter in Mashonaland Central. We have already held several early detection workshops with both clinicians and traditional medical practitioners. 
  • Kidzcan is developing its psychosocial support programme following the award of an innovation grant from REPSSI (the Regional Psychosocial Support Initiative). 
  • Savanna pharmaceuticals extended its support to Kidzcan by providing a substantial amount of drugs for free and an additional amount at cost. 
  • Eaglesvale interact club took several children supported by Kidzcan to Mukuvusi woodlands for a morning of fun with the animals. 
  • Rakesh from Brotherhood Clothing has generously sponsored clown to visit the children on the wards at least once a month. Spontaneous humour and gentle play minimizes stress during hospitalization and treatment and we have seen firsthand how Ajigiga the clown brings joy to children, parents, and nurses! 

We thank you for your continued support of the work we do in ensuring that children are given the right to the fight to survive cancer.
