Located inside Gujarat’s largest government-funded pediatric cancer center, the Sunshine Project began in the pre-pandemic era as a response to a gap we witnessed firsthand: children battling cancer often missed out on the joy, learning, and connection that define childhood.
Every weekend, our student-led volunteers ran recreational and educational workshops in the hospital—teaching art, playing games, singing, dancing, and celebrating birthdays and festivals. Many of these children had traveled long distances from neighboring states to access care.
We also provided nutrition kits, art materials, books, toys, and creative essentials that supported not only their treatment but their emotional and developmental well-being.
