WORLD CHILD CANCER UK
International NGO from the United Kingdom
In high-income countries over 80% of children who develop cancer survive, but in low-income countries it is often under 30%. World Child Cancer works with local teams and partners in Africa and Asia to redress that inequity to improve quality of care and survival. We provide strategic solutions to diagnosis, access to treatment and holistic care, while advocating for government-led sustainability.

Where the money comes from (2025)
Public funds 3% (£121,471) · Other income 97%
Public funds: grants and contracts from government bodies as declared to the Charity Commission. Other income includes donations, legacies, trading and investments. Many organisations record funds from UN agencies and the European Union as income from charitable activities: in that case the public share is underestimated.
