Learn to Earn Program
The Learn to Earn Program is CADAC’s flagship economic empowerment initiative designed to help childhood cancer survivors living with disabilities gain practical skills, secure livelihoods and become self-reliant.
We believe that cancer survivorship must go beyond treatment, it must translate into meaningful opportunities for young people to rebuild their lives with dignity.
Founded by Dr. Anne Merriman (MHSRIP), a global pioneer in palliative care and humanitarian service, CADAC was established to respond to a silent yet urgent reality: childhood cancer survivors often live with lifelong disabilities caused by both the disease and its treatment.
Through education, vocational training, advocacy, and psychosocial support, we walk alongside survivors and their families, empowering them to thrive in schools, workplaces, and communities

Hi everyone, it’s been almost a year since CADAC started. As a survivor I appreciate the effort that CADAC has been putting in to make sure each of us learn some skills that will eventually help us as a source of income. I have noticed there are more survivors that have joined us. I also thank you for helping me with writing my book especially Dr Anne and Martin Noble. I can tell that CADAC will be successful helping more survivors. I pray that many people will support it.
