OVERVIEW:

80% of the paediatric cancer cases can be fully cured, but in India, due to late detection, lack of diagnostic facilities, inadequate and over crowded treatment facilities, high cost of treatment and lack of supportive care, a very large number of cases go either untreated or inadequately treated, with the result that percentage cure is a lot less (some estimates put it at even less than 40%) India has about 200000 recorded cases of Paediatric Cancer. Over 40,000 new cases of childhood and adolescent cancer are added each year, most of which go unreported. Lack of adequate diagnostics and treatment facilities lead to even higher number of actual paediatric cancer cases.

​

Since its inception in 2004, Jana Rakshita has been instrumental in bringing medical aid, education assistance and hope to nearly 2000 lives and continues to do so. We are closely involved in each of these cases, trying to understand specific needs and working towards fulfilling them. As a result, each case has been a unique learning experience for us, bettering our understanding of each patient. The impact of cancer is as much on the mind as on the body.

​

Providing help in the many aspects of a child’s education including providing infrastructure and sanitation facilities, provision of groceries, stationery, toys and other games as required for adivasi schools, has been a gratifying experience and a source of inspiration for us in all our activities. The team at Janarakshita consists of an active board of trustees along with the support a dedicated team of volunteers.
