On September 1, as we marked the beginning of International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we launched a meaningful new collaboration: a dedicated Fellowship Program for Access Life Assistance Foundation, bringing our in-house supportive nutrition expertise to support children with cancer and their families staying across Access Life’s 14 centres— their Home Away From Home, as they undergo treatment. Support us and these kids fighting cancer – donate here.

🎗️Our fellowship develops and delivers tailored supportive nutrition training programs aligned with dietary prescriptions of the children’s treating doctors and hospitals, equipping Access Life teams with practical knowledge to support families better.

🎗️When a child battles cancer, medical treatment is necessary. But with supportive nutrition, things get easier. Nutrition is an important component of supportive care, nutritional status, higher treatment tolerance and better quality of life. Support us and these kids fighting cancer – donate here.

🎗️Clinical studies published in the Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Research indicates that up to 42.5% of children are undernourished or experience severe weight loss at diagnosis. Data demonstrates that when malnutrition during paediatric cancer treatment is addressed, it supports in reducing mortality risk, and reduced rates of infections in these brave hearts.

🎗️Evidence from the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) highlights that structured nutritional support acts as a modifiable prognostic factor—improving chemotherapy tolerance (so that sessions are not missed), reducing hospital stays, and directly bolstering survival rates.

🎗️We at Kindness Practice Foundation are deeply grateful to the team at Access Life Assistance Foundation for welcoming us into their Home Away From Home centres and giving us the opportunity to contribute to the wellbeing of the children and families they support.

🎗️Because while medical treatment fights the disease, supportive nutritional care helps the child through the journey. Support this journey – donate here.
