Cuddles Foundation is dedicated to improving outcomes for children battling cancer in India. The mission is to ensure that every child fighting cancer has a chance at a cure by addressing the critical role of nutrition in pediatric oncology care. Its vision focuses on empowering hospitals with trained nutritionists, providing food aid, and standardizing nutritional care across public and charity hospitals in India.

Major Interventions:

Nutritional Aid: Cuddles support children and their families with free food and essential nutrition. Initiatives include hot meals, in-meals, nutritional supplements, and monthly ration bundles for families. The aim is to combat malnutrition, a prevalent issue among pediatric cancer patients, and improve treatment adherence and outcomes.

Monitoring Progress and Impact: The program closely monitors each child's nutritional status using metrics like MUAC (mid-upper arm circumference) and BMI. This allows them to track progress and adjust plans as needed. Cuddles also tracks the number of patients engaged, counseling sessions provided, and the types of cancer most prevalent among participating children.

Hospital Support: Cuddles collaborates with government and charity hospitals across 14 states, providing them with trained pediatric oncology nutritionists. These professionals counsel children and families on tailored nutritional strategies to support treatment and recovery, ensuring holistic care during a challenging journey.

Training and Innovation: Cuddles Foundation invests in training its nutritionists to combine technical expertise with empathy. To enhance efficiency and consistency, it uses its FoodHeals® App, which automates clinical nutrition functions and facilitates collaboration between medical and nutrition teams. The app standardizes nutritional support delivery, helping children access consistent care across partner hospitals.

Cuddles’ Young Heroes initiative empowers children and youth to engage in creative fundraising activities. From marathons to art projects, these efforts reflect the community's role in supporting children with cancer. It also identifies critical trends in pediatric oncology nutrition, using data to shape impactful strategies and advocate for improved care standards nationwide.
