Every year around 55 million Indians are pushed below poverty line due to out of pocket expenditure on healthcare specially cancer. This leads to financial and psychosocial burden on the patient and family.
We, through this fundraiser, wants to not only generate livelihood for those cancer patients who survived this disease as well as for the family members of those cancer patients who succumbed to this deadly condition.
Also, these beneficiaries will be trained in palliative care to support those undergoing cancer treatment at the health facliity.

Over a period of last 6 months, through our cancer care champion in kashmir, we were able to reach out to over 160 cancer patients whom the cancer care champion provided mental health screening, peer suppport, counselling, pain assessment and linkage to healthcare provider.
We now aim to reach out out to over 400 patients in 1 year and to train more cancer survivors as cancer care champions.
