Together, creating a better tomorrow.
The philanthropic arm of Astrotalk returning a share of what we earn to the people and places that shape us. From winter relief on Delhi streets to children fighting cancer in hospital wards.
In 2026, we widened the circle to include
children fighting cancer.
We’ve partnered with Cuddles Foundation, an organisation quietly but relentlessly fighting childhood malnutrition in young cancer patients, to support the nutrition arm of treatment across six hospitals in India.
Cancer treatment is long and demanding. A child’s body needs strength to endure it. That’s where this support goes. That’s what this chapter stands for.
How Each Child Is Supported
Every child is weighed, measured and screened the day they arrive at a partner hospital.
A Cuddles nutritionist writes a plan around the treatment schedule and what the child can actually eat.
Nutritional supplements, in-meal snacks, tube feeds, milk tetra packs and monthly dry rations.
Weight, tolerance, infections, appetite tracked weekly, course-corrected gently.
We keep going for as long as treatment goes, not until a budget runs out. One rule.
Care That Goes Beyond Nutrition
Personalized Nutrition
Tailored to each child’s age, condition, and treatment stage—ensuring they get exactly what their body needs to recover.
Nutrition That Fits Real Life
Easy-to-consume, familiar foods that children can actually eat and enjoy, even during difficult treatment phases.
Support for the Whole Family
Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation—families receive food support so children aren’t recovering in hunger.
Consistent Daily Essentials
Reliable access to basic nutrition like milk, so caregivers can focus on care—not survival needs.
Emotional & Caregiver Support
Strengthening the people behind the child with counselling and support, improving overall recovery outcomes.
Continuous Improvement
Data-driven monitoring and learning ensure the program evolves and delivers better results every year.
From fragile to fighting strong.
Basavaraj · 9 · Burkitt’s Lymphoma
When Basavaraj arrived at our partner hospital, he was too weak to eat. His father, a farmer, is the only earner. His mother Manjula had already lost another child years earlier. “We were terrified,” she said. “We kept thinking, will we be able to save him?”
Because of his severe thinness, the Cuddles nutritionist started him on slow, round-the-clock tube feeds. As his body adjusted, feeds became periodic. Then food by mouth. With steady supplements and in-meal snacks, his weight climbed.
Today, Basavaraj is within the well-nourished range. He is still on treatment, but he is stronger than when he first arrived and he has a plan: he wants to be an army officer.
Six cities.
Six wards.
121 children.
Cuddles partners with paediatric oncology wards at government and trust hospitals. We fund the nutrition arm of that work from the first assessment through the last round of chemo.
Your Orders, Real Change
A rudraksha, a reading, a gemstone anything you buy on Astrotalk routes a gentle percentage to the Foundation. You are not being asked for anything extra. The work is already moving. You are already part of it.
Before cancer, the Foundation walked other roads too.
