Childhood cancer affects a significant proportion of children and adolescents aged 0 to 19 years old. Childhood cancer is curable, and society needs to be aware of this fact. However due to multiple reasons predominantly financial, less than 30 percent of childhood cancers are cured in middle income countries.

The Centre for Development Studies and Education ® (CEDSE) is committed to providing compassionate care and support to children with cancer. The Childhood Cancer Programme launched by CEDSE aims to guarantee that every child receives the standard treatment, emotional support and cancer-fighting resources. This organization provides psychosocial care to children and families. Financial support is offered by CEDSE for early cancer identification, diagnostic and prognostic investigations, therapy (surgical, chemotherapy, venous access and supportive medications) and transportation logistics for affected children besides nutritional food and palliative care support. CEDSE also conducts cancer awareness programmes, counsels care takers of paediatric cancer patients, conducts activities during Children’s Day like magic shows or children directed events. The whole aim is that no child affected with cancer should be devoid of treatment and all round support. For this excellent cause of contributing to the process of healing young warriors CEDSE requires all the support.
