Community Initiatives

Since 2009, students from Duke-NUS Medical School and NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine have committed to organizing Camp Simba.

Camp Simba aims to meet the emotional needs of children whose family members are afflicted with cancer. At its core, it seeks to provide a safe and conducive haven for them to have fun and enjoy themselves, while helping to build their resilience and courage.

Most importantly, Camp Simba hopes to build a community for the children, one where they can draw support and strength from other children who share similar experiences and know that they are never alone.
