"Every child should have the same chance of cure regardless of where they live.”

Dr. Kristin Schroeder, iCCARE co-founder

About Childhood Cancer

  • Worldwide, cancer causes more deaths than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.

  • In children, cancer is highly treatable with cure rates over 85% in some countries, but 80% of children with cancer will die because they live in the developing countries where access to medical care is inadequate.

  • We want give any individual who is diagnosed with cancer the same chance of cure regardless of where they live.

Our Progress
In 2014, a child diagnosed with cancer at Bugando Medical Centre in northern Tanzania had less than a 20% chance of survival, and fewer than half could afford to complete potentially curative treatment. Today, thanks largely to iCCARE, the survival rate has more than doubled
