Thank you, @rotaryclubutumishi, for creating a space where we could share The HCK Story, with our Board Chair, @kanyiohawa, and engage in conversations around childhood cancer.💛🎗️ Our aim is always to bring greater awareness and understanding to the realities faced by children and families affected by childhood cancer, while building a wider community of support. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to hear more about our work and the journey towards timely and affordable cancer care for every child in Kenya.💛 Cure for every child. Care for every family. #HopeForCancerKids #RotaryNairobiUtumishi #BeautyInHardPlaces #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Last Thursday, our session began with a simple creative exercise. The children were given blank sheets of paper, closed their eyes and were encouraged to draw freely, without worrying about what the picture should look like or trying to make it “perfect.” Once the drawings were complete, they opened their eyes and began adding colour. The idea was to give each child something that was uniquely theirs, created from their own movement, imagination and choices. There was no right or wrong picture, and no two drawings needed to look alike. Through our Art Classes, these simple exercises can create space for self-expression, creativity and a sense of ownership. The finished artwork becomes a reflection of their individual experience in that moment. A blank page. Their own lines. Their own colours. Their own creation. 💛🎨 #HopeForCancerKids #Art4Life #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Thank you ALWAYS, Lions Club of Nairobi.💛🎗️ From the time you spent with the children, caregivers and our team, to the thoughtful supplies you brought for future creative sessions, every gesture means so much to the children at Ward 1E, Kenyatta National Hospital. 🎨✨ It’s the little things that make a difference. It’s the little things that give hope. 💛🎗️ Thank you for continuing to show up, support our work and help create more moments of hope for the children and their families. @leos411a @district411a @lionsclubnairobikaren @lionsclubofnairobikaren @thikaleolion_ke @mkuleos @scope_mku #HopeForCancerKids #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Together, We Spread Hope. 💛 Last week, before our Art Therapy session, the Lions Club of Nairobi brought music, goodies and plenty of reasons to smile. With a live band playing, our children, caregivers, nurses and everyone who joined took some time to dance, laugh and simply enjoy the moment. 💛 And that makes a huge difference. It’s the little things that make a difference. It’s the little things that give hope. It’s the little things that remind us to keep going. Thank you to the Lions Club of Nairobi and everyone who made this beautiful afternoon possible. We are always and forever grateful for the kindness, generosity and joy you bring to the children and families. @leos411a @district411a @lionsclubnairobikaren @lionsclubofnairobikaren @thikaleolion_ke @mkuleos @scope_mku Thank you for spreading hope with us. 💛 #HopeForCancerKids #Hope #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancer #LionsClubOfNairobi

Thank you, @ikmadvocates. 💛 Last week, we had the opportunity to spend time with our partners at IKM Advocates for a meaningful conversation about the work we do, the progress we’ve made, and the importance of partnerships in creating lasting impact for children and families affected by childhood cancer. As part of their support this September, IKM Advocates is displaying some of the beautiful artwork created through our Art Therapy Sessions, giving everyone who walks through their doors an opportunity to see a little more of the work we do. These pieces carry more than creativity. They represent moments of expression, connection and joy for the children who create them. When they are purchased, the proceeds go back towards supporting our work and helping us continue creating these opportunities for children and families. We’re grateful to IKM Advocates for taking the time to understand our work, share in our mission and continue standing alongside us. Partnerships like these remind us that creating hope is something we can all be part of. 💛 Thank you for being part of our journey, IKM Advocates. #HopeForCancerKids #IKMAdvocates #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

This September, we’re encouraging parents, caregivers and communities to stay informed and pay attention to changes that are unusual, unexplained or persistent. If something doesn’t feel right, seeking medical advice is an important step. Swipe through, learn the signs, and share the information with someone who may need it.🎗️💛 For more information about childhood cancer and our work: 📞 +254 740 091 695 | +254 790 749 383 📧 adm@hope4cancerkids.org #HopeForCancerKids #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancer #KnowTheSigns #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Thank you, Carol, for trusting us and for sharing your journey. 💛 Behind every childhood cancer diagnosis is a parent walking alongside their child through uncertainty, difficult decisions and many emotions.

Sometimes, it’s being there to listen, offering a safe space to talk, checking in, or simply reminding a parent that they are not alone. Cure for every child. Care for every family. 💛 There are many ways to be part of this journey, through giving, volunteering, sharing awareness, offering your skills or simply helping us reach someone who needs support.
