ACTIONS / GOALS
CANCER & CHILDREN. A connection that is difficult to make and yet…
PRIMORY CONCERN
Social fund
It is of the utmost importance that every child has access to medical care. A child is not responsible for his or her family situation or economic circumstances. Financial support should always be available for the disadvantaged and most vulnerable, who suffer in the shadows with their disease, but also their dreams…
CALUNA’S FOUNDATION was established to ensure that the Social Fund of EPS M’Bour always has sufficient funds to guarantee access to care for every child. This is our biggest concern and of vital importance to all the children with cancer who need it so much.
“Every child should always have access to medical care!”
Treatment for a child with cancer in Africa is estimated at around € 2,000 per hospitalisation, with half of this going towards the medication, lab and blood tests, scans and miscellaneous medical supplies, on top of the operation, treatment and accommodation costs.
The government also contributes part of the costs for children up to the age of five, as long as the proper administrative route has been taken, including a doctor’s referral. Other partners also contribute by providing free medication, such as the medication for chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, however, the hospital bill for the full care and treatment of a child with cancer – the examinations, the lab tests, the scans, the operations and other accommodation and relocation costs – remains too high and unaffordable for most families.
This was why CALUNA’S FOUNDATION was established, and we call upon your generosity so that every child who suffers from CANCER gets the medical care and treatment it needs. The life of a child should never depend on the economic circumstances of its family
