20 Years of Spreading Hope & Smiles
International Society for Children with Cancer (ISCC)
In a world where the innocence of childhood is often overshadowed by the harsh realities of illness, the International Society for Children with Cancer (ISCC) stands as a beacon of hope. Since its establishment in 2004 by the compassionate humanitarian Mrs. Fereshteh Tavakoli in California, ISCC has committed itself to a singular mission—making a profound impact on the lives of children battling cancer and supporting their families through the most challenging times.
What began as a modest effort to assist children affected by cancer has grown into one of the most trusted and respected charitable organizations in the world. As a nonprofit, non-governmental, and non-religious entity, ISCC has extended its reach to 21 different organizations across 16 countries, including four in the United States. This vast network underscores a simple truth—the fight against childhood cancer knows no borders, and neither does the compassion needed to confront it.
This year, ISCC celebrates a significant milestone: 20 years of unwavering commitment to helping children and their families. For two decades, the organization has been a lifeline for thousands of children, offering everything from funding for medical treatments to emotional and psychological support. The ripple effect of ISCC’s work is felt globally, with children and families from the United States to developing nations finding relief in the care and compassion ISCC provides.
A pivotal figure in the organization’s success is Mrs. Homa Javid, who tirelessly promotes ISCC’s mission within the Washington, D.C. community. Her dedication to community outreach has not only raised awareness but also inspired action, fostering a sense of unity among supporters. Through Mrs. Javid’s work, ISCC’s message of hope has touched the lives of many in the nation’s capital, reminding everyone of the critical need for empathy and support when it comes to childhood cancer.
Today, ISCC is more than just a charity; it is a global community built on the foundation of hope, resilience, and love. It embodies the belief that no child should face the battle against cancer alone. From its groundbreaking initiatives, such as funding life-saving medical treatments, to providing essential emotional support, ISCC continues to transform lives every day. The organization’s work isn’t just about curing cancer—it’s about ensuring that every child has the best chance to recover, thrive, and lead a fulfilling life.
As we reflect on the extraordinary journey of the International Society for Children with Cancer, we are reminded of the power of empathy in action. Mrs. Tavakoli’s vision has forever changed the lives of thousands of children and their families. Her belief in the strength of community and the importance of giving back has inspired a global movement of kindness, support, and love. It is a movement that continues to grow stronger with each passing year, with every life that ISCC touches.
