SHINE Children's Home
At SHINE Home we provide a nurturing sanctuary for children diagnosed with cancer, ensuring they receive, the best possible care and support during their treatment journey. Our comprehensive services include free accommodation, nutritious meals tailored by dieticians, essential medical care, and daily transportation to JIPMER Hospital for regular checkups and treatments.
Children stay at SHINE Home with their mother or guardian throughout the entire treatment period creating a comforting and stable environment. We believe in fostering a sense of normalcy for these young patients, which is why we offer informal education and organize various outings and activities. These experiences help children maintain a positive outlook and enjoy a semblance of normal childhood despite their medical challenges.
Understanding the importance of holistic support, we also provide mothers with basic tailoring and other practical skills. This empowers them with new capabilities that can be beneficial when they return home, enhancing their ability to support their families.
The bonds formed at SHINE Home are strong and enduring. Many children return for their follow-up checkups, choosing to stay with us again, a testament to the comfort and care they receive here. Our home is a place of happiness and healing significantly improving the well-being of children compared to being left in hospitals or their native places.
In this joyful and supportive environment, children not only receive medical care but also thrive emotionally and socially, making SHINE Home a true home away from home.
