Uganda

The “Aladina Home” located in Kampala (Uganda) is a home for children and adolescents with cancer in the country who are in the terminal phase of the disease. A unique project in Africa, led by our friends from the Bless a Child Foundation (BCF) and to which we have had the enormous satisfaction of being able to contribute €100,000.

The “Aladina Home” is a palliative care home run by the Bless a Child Foundation (BCF) that provides accommodation and psychosocial support to children suffering from cancer in that African country and for whom there is no longer medical treatment.

Over the past 13 years, BCF has provided care and support to more than 4,000 children suffering from cancer in Uganda. The diagnosis of the disease usually occurs late, which is why more than 50% of children do not overcome it and require palliative care.

At the “Aladina Home” they will have access to personalized attention as well as psychosocial support for children. In addition, they will be able to enjoy a comfortable room for a child and their caregiver, pain relievers, meals, ambulance services and 24-hour access to a palliative care nurse. The “Aladina Home” will also have a doctor on call to deal with emergencies.
