ISCC is Celebrating its

20^th Anniversary

Continue to support children with cancer today through our 20for20 campaign.

About Us

Founded in June 2004 by Mrs. Saideh Ghods and Mrs. Fereshteh Tavakoli in Chatsworth, CA, the International Society for Children with Cancer (ISCC) was established to support the United Nations Millennium Development Goal of reducing child mortality. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, ISCC is non-governmental and non-political, dedicated to ensuring that no child suffering from cancer goes untreated.

A cancer diagnosis doesn’t mean the end of childhood.
ISCC gives young warriors the chance to heal, grow, and thrive.

Who We Help

We have been supporting children with cancer in Iran and around the world for over 20 years.

Our vision remains bold and clear: to help every child suffering from cancer, particularly in developing countries, the best chance to recover and thrive in their lives. Through your support, we hope to ensure that no child with cancer is ever refused treatment due to financial hardship, and that they receive the care, compassion, and future they deserve.
