Vision
To create a world where every child who needs palliative care gets the nurture, nourishment and support to lead a happy and empowered life.
Mission
1. To grow the infrastructure and support for children and young adults with life-threatening diseases from lower socioeconomic backgrounds through emotional, psychosocial, nutritional and vocational support.
2. To change the perception about supporting children with life-limiting illnesses as more than just a ‘lost cause’.
The biggest opportunity for us right now is to advocate about our work. Palliative care is not a very popular concept in our country, to enable people to understand the concept and its importance will be a great opportunity. The other opportunity we are trying to get is to put Happy Feet Home Foundation on the map as a well-structured NGO.
“Home”
If you visit Happy Feet Home Foundation you will know why! It is not a home away from home, it is just a home for all of us
I believe in celebrating life in every way and embracing all aspects of it.
Most people associate impact with numbers, they don’t see impact in giving someone a dignified end and I wanted to change that.
End of life does not need to be sad and painful whether for the patients or their caregivers.
