Purposes of
the Foundation
future is thankful for your interest
Belarus, a republic of 10 million people at the northern border of Ukraine, was severely battered in World War II, when 25% of households suffered a family loss. The vitality and health of this next generation, therefore, is extremely critical. The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident has had a devastating and lasting effect on the population - especially children. Thyroid cancer has already increased over 200-fold and an estimated 20,000 more children will develop cancer in the near future.
The Foundation was founded exclusively to undertake and financially support activities designed to improve and enhance the health of children in Eastern and Central Europe, with a special concern for the children from Belarus. Current Foundation support in Belarus includes:
Current
Projects
- A Cancer Registry for Children
- A University Children's Medical Center
- The US/Belarus Health Sciences Education Academy
- The Clinical Management of Radiation Induced Thyroid Cancer
- Contemporary Continuing Pediatric Education for Doctors and Nurses
- Treatment of the Major Cause of Peptic Ulcer Disease
- Associated with Stomach Cancer
- A Reduction in the Burden of Environmental Toxins on Children
- A Model Network for Neonatal and Perinatal Care
Your interest and support of these programs through our Foundation is greatly appreciated.
