- About Us
Golden Butterflies Children’s Palliative Care Foundation, a registered nonprofit in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, was established on February 8, 2018. The primary focus is to cater to the needs of underprivileged children afflicted with chronic, advanced, or incurable diseases, along with their families and caregivers. Through a comprehensive approach that encompasses supportive care, counseling, medical and nutritional support, and financial assistance, we strive to alleviate unnecessary suffering. We also provide palliative, end of life (EoL) and bereavement support.
Additionally, we are committed to raising awareness about children’s palliative care in both the healthcare sector and the broader community. As a secular organization, we uphold the principles of equal opportunity for all. While our services primarily extend to Chennai and its surrounding districts in Tamil Nadu, we also support families from other regions of India.
