In an interview with the president of the LCB, Morwadi Mokwele this week said HHH initiative was started in 2017 with the intention to provide shelter to children diagnosed with cancer when they went for treatment at Princess Marina Hospital (PMH). She said that they came up with the initiative to extend a helping hand after receiving a report of a child who was   diagnosed with cancer staying in Shakawe with his unemployed mother.

She added that the boy had undergone six weeks of cancer treatment at PMH and after having completed his treatment he suffered complications like internal bleeding whilst on the bus going back home.
