TOGETHER AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER

Our mission:

Help for families

The multi-disciplinary team offers psycho-social, administrative and financial support, as well as household help, educational activities, school support and entertainment for sick children and their families.

Raising awareness

The Foundation informs the general public and undertakes national awareness campaigns.

Research

A dedicated fund is used to finance paediatric oncology research projects aimed at improving treatment and curing the disease.

Our facilities

The Maison des Enfants in Strassen, the Foundation's headquarters, offers educational and therapeutic workshops as well as school and recreational activities.

The Maison Losch, the Parents' House in Brussels, enables families to stay free of charge close to the hospital where their child is being treated.

The Appartement de Convalescence on the Belgian coast invites supported families to rest and recharge their batteries by the sea.
