Unite Organizations, Empower Volunteers and Support Lives!

What We Do

As an NGO of NGOs in the cancer care space, we act as a unifying platform to empower, connect, and amplify the impact of grassroots and specialized organizations across the continuum of care.

Coordination and Networking

    We facilitate collaboration among cancer care NGOs (e.g., those focused on prevention, treatment, survivorship, and palliative care). We ensure no duplication of efforts by mapping which NGO is doing what, where, and how. We promote referrals and integrated care pathways across NGOs.

Capacity Building

    We provide training, toolkits, and guidelines to smaller NGOs. This help NGOs adopt digital tools, data management systems, or telehealth platforms with ease.

Funding and Resource Mobilization

    We act as a consortium leader to apply for large grants or donor funding. By brokering partnerships between funders, researchers, and implementers, we can ensure that funding is directed to the most impactful projects. We help smaller NGOs access funding opportunities, training on grant writing, and financial management.

Advocacy and Policy Influence

    We represent collective interests of member NGOs in state and national policy forums. Our advocacy for inclusive cancer policies, access to affordable treatment, and better public health infrastructure, has a greater impact on the cancer care. We lead campaigns on equity in cancer care (e.g., rural access, gender disparities, pediatric cancer).

Research, Data, and Knowledge Sharing

    We plan to aggregate data across NGOs to build a shared evidence base, commission or coordinate multi-site research studies and host knowledge exchanges, conferences, or online platforms.

Standardization and Quality Assurance

    We are working on development and promotion of common standards for care delivery, volunteer training, and ethical practices. as well as supporting monitoring and evaluation frameworks for smaller NGOs.

Emergency and Crisis Response

    Our future plan of action includes rapidly mobilizing resources and coordination during emergencies, creating a collective response mechanism for supporting cancer patients during crises.
