Backing a mother and child through the realities of childhood cancer

On World Cancer Day (4 February), we share the story of a young mother and her five-year-old son navigating the realities of childhood cancer.

Each year, an estimated 400 000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer, and for many families, the journey involves far more than medical treatment alone. From emotional strain to practical challenges like transport, nutrition and daily stability, the impact is felt across every part of family life.

This story highlights the importance of support beyond the hospital ward — and how standing alongside families during treatment can make a meaningful difference when it’s needed most.

📌 World Cancer Day is a global initiative focused on raising awareness, improving education and reducing preventable cancer deaths, while advocating for equitable access to care for all.

▶️ Watch to understand the realities faced by families during childhood cancer treatment — and why compassion, care and practical support matter.
