Description of Organization

Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF) is a social service agency with a mission to improve the quality of life of children with cancer and their families and children impacted by cancer through enhancing their emotional, social and medical well-being.

Founded in 1992, CCF provides children with cancer and their families the much needed support in their battle against the life threatening illness. Over the years, CCF has helped more than 3000 children and their families at different stages of the illness and recovery.

CCF is at every touch point of a child’s journey, providing psychosocial support and financial assistance from the time of diagnosis, to treatment in the hospitals and returning to normalised living. When a child has poor prognosis, CCF provides palliative and bereavement support to help the family cope with the difficult times and end-of-life challenges.
