Soleterre is a nonprofit organization that provides medical treatment, safe housing and counseling support to children affected by cancer worldwide. We believe that everyone deserved to have access to a healthy life—one with access to excellent medical treatment, psychological assistance, and dignity.

As of 2023, we are active in 8 countries including Italy, Ukraine, Poland, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Ivory Coast, and El Salvador. Our objective is to improve the quality of life for children battling cancer and raise their overall survival rate worldwide.

We aid patients and their families providing medical treatment, psychological support, economic relief and safe housing. We are also active in financing scientific research programs, upgrades to hospital spaces, and developing programs focused on cancer prevention and early diagnosis. Every year we assist nearly 3,000 minors with medical treatment, economic aid, and counseling for their families. Soleterre works closely with local communities, allowing us to respond quickly to health emergencies and other crises that arise in the areas where we work.

Our campaign, "Great Against Cancer" is an international effort to build family homes for children with cancer. These are local spaces with easy access to nearby hospitals where families can stay free of charge during the duration of their loved one's cancer treatment. Our mission is to offer families who are suffering through the unthinkable to find some semblance of peace, together.

We are currently focused on providing relief for families impacted by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Since February 24, 2022, Soleterre has been working round the clock to ensure that there is continued access to medical treatment, safe housing, and counseling support for children with cancer and their families in Kyiv and Lviv. Our current projects dedicated to this mission include Unbroken Kids, Rebuilding Hope for Ukrainian Families, and Emergency in Ukraine - Immediate Relief Assistance. Our most recent endeavor, Unbroken Kids, seeks to offer support for those children who have been wounded in the ongoing violence, offering lifesaving treatment, psychological support, and physiotherapy.

Emergency in Ukraine

Help Provide Urgent Relief in Ukraine Soleterre is working round the clock in Ukraine to provide medical treatment, safe housing, and counseling support to children with cancer and their families in Kyiv and Lviv. Through our local partner, the Zaporuka Foundation, we are: Providing safe housing for children with cancer and their families in Kyiv and evacuating those able to move to safer areas of Ukraine, Poland, and Italy. Ensuring continued medical care, especially for children undergoing chemotherapy. Guaranteeing immediate and flexible support to three partner hospitals: The Institute of Cancer in Kyiv, the Neurosurgery Center in Kyiv, and the Regional Pediatric Hospital in Lviv, so they are prepared to host people in need. The assault by Russia on Ukraine has transfixed and horrified the world since the attacks first began on February 24, 2022. For Ukrainian children with cancer, these treacherous days have the added burden of growing uncertainty for their safety and health, as chemotherapy sessions are rescheduled, and planned surgeries suspended. You can provide immediate relief to children and families in Ukraine. $17 contributes food and assistance to children in hospitals. $44 provides transport to children with cancer and their families. $71 provides medication and medical supplies to children with cancer. $131 provides medical treatment and chemotherapy to children with cancer. Consider a monthly donation to Soleterre to make a sustaining impact, providing food, basic needs, counseling, and ongoing medical care for children with cancer in Ukraine. Since March 1, we've helped more than 70 children with cancer. Thanks to a medical flight corridor, we organized 15 flights to move the children and their families to Italy, where they were admitted to top pediatric hospitals in Pavia, Milan, Genoa, Florence, and Rome to continue their cancer treatments. Soleterre is a nonprofit organization that provides medical care and assistance, especially to children affected by cancer, in Italy and around the world. www.soleterre.org Alternative ways to give: For gifts by check: Write your check to KBFUS, write " American Friends of Soleterre - Emergency in Ukraine " in the memo section of the check, and send it to KBFUS, 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2400, New York, NY 10176.
