Story
Lemon Tree Kids is a Non-Profit Company who after being involved with the Paediatric Oncology Units in Pretoria since December 2009, came to the realisation that these children are very special. Since then they have been committed to helping these children with cancer and to get them the best medical treatment available in a warm, comfortable environment.
They strive to do this through various projects and taking hands with the public to make a change. Lets face it, they cannot do this on their own!
They have a clear set of goals that they are trying to achieve:
To transform all rooms / wards in the units into “FANTASY WORLDS”. We want every child to feel it is their home away from home.
To improve the rooms and equipment to ensure the best Medical Care for all children with cancer.
To ensure the personnel have all the essential equipment available to offer the best possible care.
To support the children’s needs with regard to groceries, toiletries & essential clothing in an effort to improve food security while making the children more comfortable.
To support research initiatives to improve the survival of all children with cancer.
To support individual children with special needs if motivated by Paediatric Oncologist
