Who We Are
Sahayta, which means help and support , was established in Chandigarh, India by Neelu Tuli and nine other enthusiasts on 23rd May, 1997 after she faced the trauma of cancer with her sister. The necessity and utility of such an organization motivated her to light the lamp of hope, compassion and empathy in the lives of people suffering from cancer.
Our EMBLEM also indicates that we should reach out wherever help is needed and light the light of life.
Objectives
Sahayta Cancer Sahyog endeavors to provide holistic help to individuals touched by cancer. Our intention is to instill confidence, hope and courage in the minds of patients and their family members. We extend our helping hand, after assessing the situation, according to the varying needs of the individuals (social, emotional, financial or relating to information) without hurting their self respect.
Why Sahyog
Sahayta Cancer Sahyog is an emotional support group. Our aim is to spread the message that diagnosis of Cancer is not the end of the road. There's life after cancer and it is meaningful. The patients after treatment are fit and ready to join the mainstream of life. The word cancer is dreaded by one and all.
The emotional turmoil, the stress and strain, the patient goes through, before and during the treatment, takes heavy toll on the patient and his family. Sahayta Cancer Sahyog endeavors to provide an additional support system for their emotional needs, offering information and understanding.
