Giving children with cancer the gift of growing up

By Anna Tullgren | Individual Giving & Events Manager

Uttam
Uttam

World Child Cancer supports children with cancer and their families in lower income countries. Through our funding of diagnosis, treatment, transport to hospital, family accommodation, play therapy and counselling we ensure that every child can not only survive, but thrive. 

One of the children World Child Cancer have helped is Uttam. 

Uttam lives with his parents and sister in one room in Kathmandu, Nepal. His family moved there from their remote village to get Uttam treatment for blood cancer at Kanti Children’s Hospital, to give him the best chance possible. 

Children living in Nepal’s remote regions struggle to access the treatment they need to survive, it took Uttam’s parents 5 months to get a diagnosis from when he first became ill. 

The progress in our son convinces us” 

Your support is helping to provide training to the doctors and nurses treating Uttam and many children like him, providing psycho-social support to their families, and building stronger networks for treating children with cancer across remote areas of Nepal. 

Thank you for helping to give children with cancer the gift of growing up!
