CCC Foundation (CCC) is a not-for-profit charitable organisation based in Australia and Sri Lanka. CCC runs projects that support people in Sri Lanka in the areas of:
- cancer treatment and care and
- emotional wellbeing and mental health
It was first registered in May 2003 to assist children suffering from cancer at the National Cancer Institute Maharagama (NCI) in Sri Lanka. In 2009, construction of the CCC House began. The CCC House is a hundred and seventy bed cancer transit home in Sri Lanka, similar to the Ronald McDonald House in Australia. In December 2009, CCC launched the CCCLine, the first telephone counselling service in Sri Lanka.
CCC Foundation works with its alliance partners Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), Peter Mac Callum Cancer Centre, Lifeline International and Centre for International Mental Health.
CCC Foundation is based on Courage, Compassion & Commitment (CCC). We believe it is these very qualities in those who support our efforts to help the sick and the underprivileged that makes the difference.
