Information
Access Life Assistance Foundation, an Indian not-for-profit organisation provides multi-disciplinary supportive care to families who come to various hospitals for their child’s cancer treatment. It provides a loving and temporary home for children undergoing treatment for cancer along with their parents or caretakers. Access Life set up its first center in June 2014 in Chembur and has grown to 9 childhood cancer care centres across Mumbai, Pune, Manipal, Chandigarh, Bengaluru and now in Ahmedabad.
Along with a home-like environment for these families, we also address the psychological and social effects of cancer by providing practical support services, nutritional support, educational resources, safe transport to hospitals, and recreational programs.
Counseling, yoga, music, recreational, educational and nutritional supplementation programs, have helped in giving the parents and children, the holistic support they need to tackle this challenging disease. As we grew over the years, we added four more centres for accommodating the children and their families and have received four vehicles that help us provide transportation for the children at our centres. At present we have 8 centres – our Access Life Centres are in Mumbai, Pune, Manipal, Chandigarh, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad taking our basic capacity to 140 accommodation units that serve the needs of 420 individuals.
