Dear friends,
Welcome to World Child Cancer USA’s first annual report. We are pleased to
share how your contributions helped children with cancer in developing
countries around the globe.
Thanks to your generosity, in 2014 World Child Cancer was able to help
hospitals in 16 countries that cared for 3,460 children with cancer. Through our
medical twinning partners – hospitals like Dana Farber and Boston Children’s
Hospital – we helped train 1,000 healthcare professionals in 16 low- and
middle-income countries where we work. World Child Cancer Global raised
over $3 million dollars and mobilized $2.9 million of in-kind voluntary medical
aid from healthcare professionals.
In 2014, World Child Cancer started new projects in Myanmar and in 5
centers in Sub-Saharan Africa to work together to improve care for children
with kidney cancer (Wilms tumor) across Africa. We have entered phase 2 of
developing satellite networks at our projects in Bangladesh, Ghana and the
Philippines – enabling us to cover a greater geographical area and reach a
greater number of children with cancer within those countries.
Thank you for your support and for partnering with us to save lives. Your
contributions make it possible for us to subsidize the purchase of life-saving
medicines and pain relievers, train local nurses and doctors, deliver
awareness campaigns about the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer to
local communities, and support families throughout the diagnosis, treatment
and care of their child.
On behalf of us all at World Child Cancer, thank you again for your support.
Together, we can ensure that no child with cancer should suffer – no matter
where they may live.
Many thanks,
Dr. Scott Howard
Chairman, World Child Cancer USA

Greetings,
2014 was an exciting year for World Child Cancer USA. Thanks to your support,
we were able to contribute to helping 3,400 children access cancer care and
life-saving treatment globally.						
Of the estimated 200,000 children who develop cancer each year 90% live in
low- and middle-income countries, and in some of the poorest countries the
chance of a cure is less than 10%, compared to 80% or more in high income
countries like the US. Cancer impacts children, along with their families and
communities, indiscriminately around the globe. World Child Cancer exists
to close the gap in survival rates and ensure every child can access the best
possible treatment and care.
In May, I was privileged to travel to Ghana to visit the pediatric oncology unit
at the Korle Bu Teaching hospital in Accra. On any given day, over 40 children
receive treatment and care at the teaching hospital and dozens in other
partner hospitals throughout Ghana. I attended the 8th training workshop
where doctors, nurses, and pharmacists were trained from regional hospitals;
I saw first-hand how building local knowledge and skills multiplies, as health
workers who were trained go on to share and implement what they’ve
learned. Your support not only provides treatment and care for children, but
also creates sustainable change by improving local healthcare systems and
training the next generation of change-makers.
Thank you to each and every one of you for partnering with us. Your support
saves lives and truly makes a difference.
With gratitude,

World Child Cancer was established in 2007 by a team of international
childhood cancer experts and business people to redress the global inequality
in cancer treatment for children in low- and middle-income countries. World
Child Cancer USA was founded in 2012 and works with its sister charity, World
Child Cancer UK, to mobilize additional resources and expertise needed to
accomplish our shared mission: that no child should suffer.
Improving the cure rates, supportive care, and palliative care are essential
elements of all World Child Cancer projects, and both the USA and UK charities
share the same family of projects and work together to fund and implement
them. This report illustrates World Child Cancer’s global efforts.
Our mission is to improve
cancer diagnosis,
treatment and care
for children across the
developing world.
A world where every
child with cancer has
access to the best
possible treatment
and care.

Treating children

World Child Cancer
offers hope to
children that they
might have a
chance of a future.

Malawi
Wilms’ tumour
project
Over 200,000 children develop cancer
worldwide each year. 80 percent of
those children live in
low- or middle-income countries
where less than 10 percent will
survive compared to 80 percent in
high-income countries.
Poor diagnosis, along with too
few specially trained doctors and
nurses and the mistaken belief that
childhood cancer is too difficult to
cure, combine to create very low
survival rates.
In fact childhood cancer is curable
even in resource-poor countries.
It’s possible to save the lives of
50–60 percent of children with
easily treatable malignancies using
relatively simple and inexpensive
drugs and procedures that have
been known to doctors for decades.
Put simply, we treat children with
cancer not fortunate enough to live
in the developed world. And where
treatment isn’t possible, we provide
effective pain relief.
What we do
•	 Increase access to curative
childhood cancer treatment
for the world’s poorest
children;
•	 Improve survival rates in the
hospitals in which we work;
•	 Increase the availability of
palliative care for children
with incurable cancers;
•	 Build capacity among
healthcare professionals
in low- and middle-income
countries in the treatment
of childhood cancer and
improve treatment facilities;
•	 Improve the collection
of data on the problem
of childhood cancer in
resource-poor countries;
•	 Raise awareness about
childhood cancer and
its curability in resource-
poor countries and among
international healthcare
funders;
•	 Ensure the sustainable
development of our projects.

When I have to go to
the hospital, I have to
get up very early in the
morning. The journey
there on the bus takes a long time
and I often feel quite sick. I travel with
my mum but there are lots of people
and it’s crowded. I’m scared of the
bus. And the hospital smells funny. I
wish I could stay at home. Being sick
is hard because it takes my time and
stops me doing the things I would like
to do.
I really like Dr Khaing and I know
that the team works very hard and
does everything it can. But I still find
it boring and it’s not very nice. When
I speak with Dr Khaing, my mum
is always there and they do lots of
checks. My mum sometimes asks
questions so she can understand.
I wanted to get an award at the
school. But I missed it because I got
this disease. I want to be a teacher but
my illness is affecting my school work.
When I am waiting at the hospital I do
not have much to do but I can watch
cartoons. The treatment is very painful
and takes away my energy for a long
time. It is horrible hearing the other
children who are in pain but I got
used to it.
Burmese literature is one of my
favourite school subjects. I do like the
poem ‘To the top’. I want
to be in school to learn
more, be with my friends
and have a normal life.

World Child Cancer has allowed us to expand our reach across
Mindanao so that more children with cancer will have access to
care. Through the Mindanao Pediatric Cancer Care Network, our
pediatric oncology team at Southern Philippines Medical Center
is able to create satellites of healthcare professionals and generate local
support in key areas of Mindanao. Our patients can have some or all of their
treatment delivered closer to their homes, mothers can continue
to care for other children and fathers can continue to work, which
empowers families and helps sustainability of treatment. This in
turn improves chances of survival and optimizes use of limited
resources.

  • 3. World Child Cancer USA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Tax ID 46:0886328 5 Dear friends, Welcome to World Child Cancer USA’s first annual report. We are pleased to share how your contributions helped children with cancer in developing countries around the globe. Thanks to your generosity, in 2014 World Child Cancer was able to help hospitals in 16 countries that cared for 3,460 children with cancer. Through our medical twinning partners – hospitals like Dana Farber and Boston Children’s Hospital – we helped train 1,000 healthcare professionals in 16 low- and middle-income countries where we work. World Child Cancer Global raised over $3 million dollars and mobilized $2.9 million of in-kind voluntary medical aid from healthcare professionals. In 2014, World Child Cancer started new projects in Myanmar and in 5 centers in Sub-Saharan Africa to work together to improve care for children with kidney cancer (Wilms tumor) across Africa. We have entered phase 2 of developing satellite networks at our projects in Bangladesh, Ghana and the Philippines – enabling us to cover a greater geographical area and reach a greater number of children with cancer within those countries. Thank you for your support and for partnering with us to save lives. Your contributions make it possible for us to subsidize the purchase of life-saving medicines and pain relievers, train local nurses and doctors, deliver awareness campaigns about the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer to local communities, and support families throughout the diagnosis, treatment and care of their child. On behalf of us all at World Child Cancer, thank you again for your support. Together, we can ensure that no child with cancer should suffer – no matter where they may live. Many thanks, Dr. Scott Howard Chairman, World Child Cancer USA From our Chairman “...Together, we can ensure that no child with cancer should suffer – no matter where they may live ”CHILDREN REACHED IN 2014 3,460 4 No Child Should Suffer
  • 4. World Child Cancer USA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Tax ID 46:0886328 7No Child Should Suffer6 Greetings, 2014 was an exciting year for World Child Cancer USA. Thanks to your support, we were able to contribute to helping 3,400 children access cancer care and life-saving treatment globally. Of the estimated 200,000 children who develop cancer each year 90% live in low- and middle-income countries, and in some of the poorest countries the chance of a cure is less than 10%, compared to 80% or more in high income countries like the US. Cancer impacts children, along with their families and communities, indiscriminately around the globe. World Child Cancer exists to close the gap in survival rates and ensure every child can access the best possible treatment and care. In May, I was privileged to travel to Ghana to visit the pediatric oncology unit at the Korle Bu Teaching hospital in Accra. On any given day, over 40 children receive treatment and care at the teaching hospital and dozens in other partner hospitals throughout Ghana. I attended the 8th training workshop where doctors, nurses, and pharmacists were trained from regional hospitals; I saw first-hand how building local knowledge and skills multiplies, as health workers who were trained go on to share and implement what they’ve learned. Your support not only provides treatment and care for children, but also creates sustainable change by improving local healthcare systems and training the next generation of change-makers. Thank you to each and every one of you for partnering with us. Your support saves lives and truly makes a difference. With gratitude, LeAnn Fickes Executive Director, World Child Cancer USA From our Executive Director 2014 Impact Numbers: $2.9m “Cancer impacts children, along with their families and communities, indiscriminately around the globe ” COUNTRIES WHERE WE WORK IN-KIND VALUE OF TIME VOLUNTEERED BY DOCTORS, NURSES, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS 16 1,000 HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TRAINED CHILDREN REACHED 3,400
  • 5. World Child Cancer was established in 2007 by a team of international childhood cancer experts and business people to redress the global inequality in cancer treatment for children in low- and middle-income countries. World Child Cancer USA was founded in 2012 and works with its sister charity, World Child Cancer UK, to mobilize additional resources and expertise needed to accomplish our shared mission: that no child should suffer. Improving the cure rates, supportive care, and palliative care are essential elements of all World Child Cancer projects, and both the USA and UK charities share the same family of projects and work together to fund and implement them. This report illustrates World Child Cancer’s global efforts. Our mission is to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment and care for children across the developing world. A world where every child with cancer has access to the best possible treatment and care. 8 No Child Should Suffer World Child Cancer USA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Tax ID 46:0886328 9 About World Child Cancer Mission Vision
  • 6. World Child Cancer USA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Tax ID 46:0886328 11No Child Should Suffer10 Treating children with cancer worldwide Where we work World Child Cancer offers hope to children that they might have a chance of a future. Central America Ghana Bangladesh Myanmar Philippines Cameroon Colombia Malawi Wilms’ tumour project Over 200,000 children develop cancer worldwide each year. 80 percent of those children live in low- or middle-income countries where less than 10 percent will survive compared to 80 percent in high-income countries. Poor diagnosis, along with too few specially trained doctors and nurses and the mistaken belief that childhood cancer is too difficult to cure, combine to create very low survival rates. In fact childhood cancer is curable even in resource-poor countries. It’s possible to save the lives of 50–60 percent of children with easily treatable malignancies using relatively simple and inexpensive drugs and procedures that have been known to doctors for decades. Put simply, we treat children with cancer not fortunate enough to live in the developed world. And where treatment isn’t possible, we provide effective pain relief. What we do • Increase access to curative childhood cancer treatment for the world’s poorest children; • Improve survival rates in the hospitals in which we work; • Increase the availability of palliative care for children with incurable cancers; • Build capacity among healthcare professionals in low- and middle-income countries in the treatment of childhood cancer and improve treatment facilities; • Improve the collection of data on the problem of childhood cancer in resource-poor countries; • Raise awareness about childhood cancer and its curability in resource- poor countries and among international healthcare funders; • Ensure the sustainable development of our projects.
  • 7. 12 World Child Cancer USA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Tax ID 46:0886328 When I have to go to the hospital, I have to get up very early in the morning. The journey there on the bus takes a long time and I often feel quite sick. I travel with my mum but there are lots of people and it’s crowded. I’m scared of the bus. And the hospital smells funny. I wish I could stay at home. Being sick is hard because it takes my time and stops me doing the things I would like to do. I really like Dr Khaing and I know that the team works very hard and does everything it can. But I still find it boring and it’s not very nice. When I speak with Dr Khaing, my mum is always there and they do lots of checks. My mum sometimes asks questions so she can understand. I wanted to get an award at the school. But I missed it because I got this disease. I want to be a teacher but my illness is affecting my school work. When I am waiting at the hospital I do not have much to do but I can watch cartoons. The treatment is very painful and takes away my energy for a long time. It is horrible hearing the other children who are in pain but I got used to it. Burmese literature is one of my favourite school subjects. I do like the poem ‘To the top’. I want to be in school to learn more, be with my friends and have a normal life.

  • 8. World Child Cancer USA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Tax ID 46:0886328 15 World Child Cancer has allowed us to expand our reach across Mindanao so that more children with cancer will have access to care. Through the Mindanao Pediatric Cancer Care Network, our pediatric oncology team at Southern Philippines Medical Center is able to create satellites of healthcare professionals and generate local support in key areas of Mindanao. Our patients can have some or all of their treatment delivered closer to their homes, mothers can continue to care for other children and fathers can continue to work, which empowers families and helps sustainability of treatment. This in turn improves chances of survival and optimizes use of limited resources.
