About us

For over 47 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities has ensured families everywhere have access to the care and resources they need – especially when they have a sick child. We believe when families are together, they cope better and that no family should have to deal with their child’s medical crisis alone. Spanning across 60 countries and regions worldwide, RMHC's extensive network of chapters is making a profound impact on families' lives on a global scale. The Ronald McDonald House Charities Foundation India (RMHC India) is dedicated to providing care centres, care rooms, and care houses for families in need, both within and outside of hospitals and medical centres, completely free of charge. In partnership with Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for children, Mumbai, RMHC India operates the Ronald McDonald Family Room (RMFR) in India. Located in the ward of the Outpatient Department of the Paediatric Haematology-Oncology department, RMFR is a comfortable and welcoming space within a hospital where families can take a break from the stressful hospital atmosphere. The room offers an improved medical environment, emotional support for parents, clean and hygienic play activities for kids, and the opportunity for relaxation for all families whose child is undergoing medical treatment at the hospital. The mission of RMHC is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. Our vision is to have a world where all children have access to medical care and their families are supported and actively involved in their children’s care. Join us in our mission to support families and make a difference in the lives of those in need!

    Rakshabandhan isn’t just about the threads we tie; it’s about coming together to protect and uplift those we care for. Kudos to the Westlife Foodworld Limited team for embracing the spirit of Rakshabandhan by purchasing rakhis from our special stall. These rakhis were crafted during an engagement session with our lovely kids at RMHC India and their parents, led by our volunteers. Each purchase spins a thread of hope and strengthens the support for the RMHC India mission. To everyone involved, from the tireless hands crafting to the generous hearts supporting, you've made a real difference! #RMHCIndia #Rakshabandhan #KeepingFamiliesClose

    It’s been a year since we held our inaugural Family-Centered Care (FCC) conference, where we tackled the issue of stigma surrounding cancer in India. Take a moment to see our progress since, from myth-busting initiatives to empowering families within our community. This is just the beginning; we will keep working to create a supportive and informed society. Stay tuned! #RMHCIndia #FCC #MythBusting

    Monsoons in Mumbai are special. But as the city basks in this seasonal spell, it is crucial to maintain habits that ensure our safety and health.   In this spirit, our dedicated volunteer, Manisha Punjabi, offered more than just her time by leading an engaging session on everyday hygiene with the kids at the RMHC India Family Room.   Focusing on practical tips relevant to their daily lives, such as monsoon readiness, the importance of hydration, and following doctor-recommended diets, Manisha prepared the kids for measures they can easily take to ensure their safety and wellbeing, especially during the monsoon season.   A warm thank you to Manisha for her dedication and care. Interested in making a difference too? Get in touch. #RMHCIndia #KeepingFamiliesClose #Volunteering

    A huge thank you to our volunteers at #RMHCIndia   We witnessed firsthand the incredible impact our volunteers have made at our RMHC Family Room. Amid the bustling hospital environment, our family room became a place of smiles, laughter, and happiness, thanks to our enthusiastic volunteers.   Their dedication to spending quality time with the children and simply being there for a comforting conversation has not only spread genuine smiles but also provided much-needed emotional support to their families.   #SpreadingSmiles #KeepingFamiliesClose

    Meet Dhruv Rasal, At just 4 years old, Dhruv's journey with us began when he was merely a yearling. Even before he learned how to read, his tiny feet would eagerly rush into our RMHC room, to pick up his favourite picture book.   Even now, every page turn in this book transports him into a magical place beyond these walls. In the warmth of our RMHC room, he is not just a brave little patient, but a hero in his own tale. This ‘Magic’ bookshelf, as we lovingly call it, has become a place for Dhruv where laughter and adventure await.   The picture below captures him in a quest for his new 'favourite' among the shelves that grace our room. Yet a familiar, well-loved tale calls to him, and it won't be long before he returns to the comforting illustrations of his cherished picture book.   This feeling of comfort is the essence of what we aspire to do at RMHC India, where every child, like Dhruv, can find joy and strength, despite the challenges life may throw at him.   #RMHCIndia #TreasuresOfHappiness
