Samiksha Foundation - Caring for Children with Cancer Trust Fund

Knowledge Empowers and Happiness Heals Our vision and belief is driven by the high success rate of childhood cancer treatment (nearly 85%). "A creative learning initiative for children with cancer and their caregivers in India, providing educational, spiritual, and creative support to children while they undergo treatment for cancer and other life-limiting conditions, increasing their happiness quotient through learning and creative activity." This helps increase the children’s self-esteem and confidence, allowing them to face the challenges of their medical condition with hope and dignity, improving the quality of life of their families, and empowering them to return to the mainstream without fear or apprehension. Most importantly, we help them return to school in the right grade after their time in the hospital. Our mission is driven by the need for non-medical support and schooling in hospital environments. It is specially designed for children aged between 4 and 16 with cancer or certain non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and life-limiting conditions. At Samiksha, we wish to make the life of the children and their caregivers a fulfilling experience. Our team consists of creative professionals, local teachers, skilled volunteers and a strong committed core team with leadership and focus. Our motto is: “The pursuit of knowledge is key to their pursuit of happiness.”
