Our Why

Children From Third World Countries Have Less Chance of Survival 

 

In underdeveloped countries, where 90% of the world's children live, the cancer survival rate can be less than 8%, and around 35% in Central America, compared to an 80% survival rate in the developed world.

​

Most families in El Salvador have an average monthly income of less than $450 a month and live in poverty. Thus, by the time they are diagnosed with cancer, 50% of the children are malnourished.

 

Ayudame a Vivir is the only organization in El Salvador providing free cancer treatment to impoverished families.
