World Smile Day 2025

 

Each year on the first Friday of October, people around the world celebrate World Smile Day — a day dedicated to kindness, positivity and spreading smiles through simple, thoughtful actions.

The 2025 theme, “Do an Act of Kindness. Help One Person SMILE!” reminds us that even the smallest gesture of compassion can have a powerful impact. Whether through offering a word of encouragement, lending a helping hand or simply sharing a smile, acts of kindness help create a ripple effect of goodwill in our communities.

At MAHAK, we see the healing power of kindness every day. A smile shared between a child, a parent, a doctor, a volunteer or a benefactor brings comfort, courage and hope during the most challenging moments of cancer treatment. The generosity of our donors and supporters plays a vital role in creating smiles on the faces of MAHAK’s children and their families. Every act of care, no matter how small, helps our young patients find strength in their journey.

On this World Smile Day, we invite everyone to join us in making a difference. Do one kind thing today and help someone smile — because sometimes a single smile can change a day, a heart or even a life.

Go Gold for 17000 MAHAK Children

Let’s go gold for a month in September on the occasion of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM). We can raise awareness in society towards the childhood cancer and its challenges which can lead to early diagnosis with your support. Since early diagnosis of childhood cancer will increase the survival chance and decrease treatment difficulties.
The slogan of the campaign has been chosen as #GoGold by Childhood Cancer International (CCI) and International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) since gold is the color for raising awareness towards childhood cancer and the gold ribbon is its symbol.
In this campaign it’s important to provide simple but scientific information to everyone. Information that can save children's lives with early cancer diagnosis. Currently, in MAHAK, 17,000 children are under treatment and every day, 6 new children are added to the number of MAHAK children who, if diagnosed early, will experience less painful, less costly and more effective treatment.
So, follow us with the hashtags of #Gogold, #Gogoldformahak #Cureforall #Gogoldfor17000mahakchildren during September.
To start the campaign, choose the #Goldribbon (click here) as your profile photo as your profile photo and have a share in saving more cancer-stricken children.
 
Stay tuned to know about other ways for going Gold.
 
 

Happy MAHAK Cancer Survivors Day

During MAHAK's 30 years of continuous activity, over 9,000 children have survived cancer all over Iran. Reaching this survival rate would never be possible without the constant care and patronage of MAHAK's supporters. Our greatest goal is increasing the survival rate of cancer-stricken children which is hard but possible by relying on your support and trust. May the love that you give to MAHAK children thrive till eternity.
Happy MAHAK’s Cancer Survivors Day to all members of this ever expanding family.
