Purpose
The Connect is a volunteer-driven initiative designed to deliver joy and engagement to children / patients with challenging medical conditions through virtual interactions. This program specifically focuses on underprivileged children from extremely low socio-economic backgrounds, including:
- Palliative Care Children
Those receiving end-of-life care. - Non-palliative Cancer Children
Those undergoing cancer treatment but not in palliative care and unable to attend school due to the long duration of treatment. - Children with Critical Illnesses
Those who cannot attend school.
Program Structure
Volunteers, known as Anjeze trainers, engage with children through online video sessions. The trainers conduct activities based on the child’s interests and needs, ensuring sessions are tailored to each individual.
