Of the 145 children in care at St. Joseph’s, 25% currently have cancer, with Leukaemia being the most common form. In South Africa 600 children are annually diagnosed with cancer.
St. Joseph’s offers free palliative care for the children while they undergo treatment at Provincial Hospitals like Red Cross and Tygerberg Hospital. We also offer short term accommodations to the parents while their children undergo this critical phase of treatment. Our services are offered at no cost to the families who are unable to afford this type of care.
We thank the many supports of St. Joseph’s who help us to give children a second chance at a healthy childhood.
