Mahak - the Society to Support Children Suffering
from Cancer is not just a great internationally recognized Iranian NGO but a way
of life.
Mahak is a well known name in many Iranian homes and
they are right to claim that a large proportion of people in Tehran and in other
cities know their name and what they do.
About Mahak:
About two decades ago a mother who had experienced
having a child with cancer and had witnessed first hand the difficulties faced
by her child, pledged to set up a center that would act as a refuge for children
and their families in a similar situation. With the assistance of the same
friends and relatives who had helped her through her own ordeal, a board of
trustees was selected and MAHAK Society to Support Children suffering from
Cancer was set up as a non profit, non-governmental organization and was
registered under number 6567 in 1991. MAHAK has been active from that day on in
helping children with cancer and their families.
