AFANOC

AFANOC (Associació de Familiars i Amics de Nens Oncològics de Catalunya) is a prominent Spanish non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive support to children and adolescents with cancer and their families. Founded in 1987 by parents of children with cancer, the association addresses the psychosocial needs that arise following a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Their flagship project, "La Casa dels Xuklis," serves as a temporary residence for families traveling to Barcelona for their children's medical treatment. AFANOC offers a wide range of services, including emotional support, social assistance, and educational programs, aiming to improve the quality of life for young patients throughout the treatment process. The organization is also well-known for its "Posa't la Gorra!" awareness and fundraising campaign.
