Seven-year-old Patlu from Nepal loves watching funny videos and making the people around him laugh. 💛

But when he was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, life changed suddenly for Patlu and his family.

Alongside the fear and uncertainty of a childhood cancer diagnosis, families can face difficult practical questions. How will they afford regular journeys to hospital? How can parents continue working while caring for their child?

At Patan Children’s Hospital, World Child Cancer provided Patlu’s family with financial assistance to help ease some of these pressures. This support helped his mother, Binita, remain by his side and focus on ensuring he could continue receiving the care he needed.

Families need emotional support too. Family Support Officers like Richa listen to parents’ concerns, offer reassurance during uncertain moments and help children like Patlu feel safer and more comfortable throughout treatment.

Through our collaboration with Amgen, we have been able to introduce Family Support Officers like Richa into our programme in Nepal.

Together, this practical and emotional support helps families feel less alone and better able to face the journey ahead.

“Look, I don’t have hair either. After the treatment is over, our hair will grow back just like before.”

When 13-year-old Pooh became upset as her hair began to fall out during treatment, her friend Akshu knew exactly what to say.

The two girls met while receiving cancer treatment at Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital in Nepal. With support from Family Support Officer Amisha Dhimal, they began spending time together through drawing, games and conversation, and soon formed a close friendship.

Through our collaboration with Amgen, World Child Cancer has been able to bring Family Support Officers like Amisha into our programme in Nepal, helping children and families feel supported alongside their medical care.

This International Friendship Day, read Akshu and Pooh’s story and discover how an unexpected friendship has made their time in hospital feel less lonely.

“You cannot do everything on your own; you need people around you."

In Episode Four of You're Not Alone, host Juliet Akuamoah Boateng is joined by Wendy Eyiah-Mensah, Paediatric Oncology Nurse at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, who shares what more than 12 years of caring for children with cancer has taught her about resilience.

Together they explore:

🎙️ Supporting families through palliative care and bereavement while protecting your own well-being

🎙️ Why optimism isn't about ignoring reality, but choosing how you respond to it

🎙️ The importance of finding someone you trust enough to "pour everything out to"

🎙️ Why speaking up when you're struggling is one of the bravest things you can do

🎧 Listen now: https://open.sp otify.com/episode/0CLdSlDobiehWS8mnKPT9o?si=UMN0ynRITw-b3LzcMXwrjg

This podcast is supported by Amgen, whose commitment to the emotional wellbeing of paediatric oncology professionals makes this series possible. We thank them for strengthening the wellbeing of healthcare professionals.

For a child with suspected cancer, every day spent waiting for a diagnosis matters. 🔬

In Cameroon, six laboratory professionals recently completed a four-day telepathology workshop, building the skills to examine samples, capture detailed digital images and share them with specialist pathologists for remote review.

The training centred around two new digital microscopes, donated by World Child Cancer through our collaboration with Amgen. The technology will help hospital teams access specialist expertise, even when a pathologist is not based at their facility.

With continued mentorship from the pathology team at Mbingo Baptist Hospital, participants will now begin putting their learning into practice.

By bringing together new technology, local knowledge and stronger links between hospital teams, this initiative can help children receive an accurate diagnosis sooner and start the right treatment without unnecessary delay.

Thank you to Amgen, the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services and everyone who made the workshop possible. 💛

At this year's SIOP Asia Congress, Dr Bishow Nath Adhikari, Paediatric Oncologist at Kanti Children's Hospital, highlighted how the shared care network is being put into practice in Nepal.

With the financial support of the Sanofi Foundation (Isabelle Villadry), the shared care network project demonstrates how coordinated referral pathways and decentralised care can improve access to treatment and help more children receive high-quality care closer to home.

The Sanofi Foundation also supported Dr Bishow's attendance at the conference, enabling him to share these learnings with healthcare professionals from across the region and contribute to discussions on strengthening childhood cancer care.

It's inspiring to see knowledge shared across borders to help improve care for children with cancer, wherever they live. 💛

What a memorable evening at The Hurlingham Club for our Ambassadors’ Gala Dinner ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night so special. We were incredibly grateful for the generosity and enthusiasm shown throughout the evening.

The event would not have been possible without the support of our headline sponsor, The Wiggett Group LTD, Silver Sponsor AD Construction Group and Late Bar Sponsor Faithorn Farrell Timms. On behalf of everyone at World Child Cancer, thank you for your ongoing generosity and for playing such an important role in the Gala’s success.

The evening also gave us the opportunity to celebrate the wonderful Mark Everard and recognise his extraordinary contribution to the Ambassador Group over the past ten years. Through his leadership and dedication to the Ambassadors, Mark has helped raise more than £2 million for World Child Cancer. It has been a privilege to work alongside him, and we wish him every success for the future.

Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our guests, the Gala Dinner raised an incredible £158,025. These funds will help more children with cancer access the diagnosis, treatment and support they need, wherever they live.
