Like other NGOs, CCC is suffering enormously from the socio-economic meltdown in Lebanon. The children that are cared for by the center are in dire need of Insulin and medical supplies to survive. American Friends of the Chronic Care Center – AFCCC – was recently established as a non-profit, tax exempt 501(c)(3) status. The funds collected by AFCCC will be used to purchase much-needed medication and medical equipment.
The CCC was established as an NGO in the early 1990’s. It currently cares for 3,200 Children with Diabetes and 500 with Thalassemia (a genetic blood disease). You can click here www.chroniccare.org.lb for more information about the CCC
