January 2022 until December 2022
Humane Globe has started a mission in late 2020 in order to address one of the most important challenges that children suffering from cancer and living in economical hardship face: getting access to life-saving medications. According to medical experts, more than 85% of children with cancer fully recover if and only if they receive the required medications.
Now and at the end of our second year of activity, we are proud of what our donors helped us to achieve. The Humane Globe mission has resonated with many who had noticed the problem and were looking for a way to address it. We posted our campaign on various social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) and the attention and engagement from the viewers caught us by surprise. Our donors come from more than 10 countries (Switzerland, Germany, France, US, Canada, UK …) and across 3 continents.
As a result of these generous donations, the details of which are provided below in the financial section of the report, we could purchase vital medications from world-renowned suppliers and manufacturers and complete three deliveries. On average, our program currently covers around 120 children with cancer aged between one month to thirteen years old who can now benefit from good-quality medications provided by Humane Globe and keep their hopes up in this harsh battle.
