About us
Aroh – Giving Hope is an NGO for children with Cancer and their families. It works with over 40 hospitals and more than 3,000 children all over India. As an attempt to strengthen the Oncology/Pediatric Oncology departments of various hospitals, Aroh provides medical staff, social workers and data managers to the departments.
We at Aroh, do not want the children and their families to fight this battle alone. Founded in 2013, we have embarked on a mission to provide services to children with cancer and their families.
Our mission is to make sure that the child overcomes cancer if it’s medically possible, that access to treatment, ignorance of the disease, or lack of money will not be a hindrance in getting the child the best possible treatment.
We envision that our organisation will always work to bring about changes in childhood cancer, that it will strive to make sure that children with cancer will have pain-free and quality treatment.
