Love is so evident when you watch the parents with their children at the Mandara Children’s Hospice in Hyderabad, India.
For so many families it has been a long journey – emotionally and often in distance – to arrive at the 10-bed hospice located in a quiet corner of the city. In 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, our partner organization the Pain Relief and Palliative Care Society opened the children’s hospice at the site of the Kumudini Devi Hospice for adults. Two Worlds Cancer Collaboration was one of four NGOs that helped fund development of the adult hospice in 2013 and supports the Mandara Children’s Hospice today through our Sunflower Children’s Network.
The Mandara Children’s Hospice provides care for children and their families facing life-limiting, serious illnesses and end-of-life care. Many children will see their last days in the compassionate care of the palliative care team at the hospice and others will stay at the hospice for respite care for their families until they can return home.
It is care that is essential for children around the globe. And a human right.
