Ukandu

The mission of Ukandu is to provide joy, hope, and connection to communities impacted by childhood and adolescent cancer. We recognize that cancer impacts the entire family and we aim to provide parents and caregivers a respite from the physical, emotional, and financial toll childhood cancer poses to families.

Ukandu is the largest and longest-running provider of medically-supervised camp programming available to families battling childhood and adolescent cancer in Oregon. Since 1986, UKANDU has served more than 1600 families and 4000 children providing programming, free of charge, and returning the gift of childhood to thousands of children.
