Because of you, our work continues

Beyond Ukraine, St. Jude has a global mission: we work closely with medical institutions in low- and middle-income countries around the world to improve survival rates for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

St. Jude is collaborating with the World Health Organization and global partners to cure at least 60% of children with the most common cancers worldwide by 2030.
