Silk Hope is a project aimed at supporting women who have lost their hair as a result of chemotherapy. Our mission is to bring dignity, femininity and psychological relief to women in one of the most challenging periods of their lives. Through high-quality silk scarves, we help patients regain self-confidence and feel attractive despite the physical changes that chemotherapy brings.
The project, created in cooperation with the Association of Friends of the National Cancer Institute and photographer and image consultant Jana Keketi, who is behind this inspiring idea, brings artistically designed silk scarves to cancer patients for free, thanks to partners.

How do we help
Our silk scarves bring several benefits to patients:
Psychological support: They help women maintain a positive self-image and dignity during treatment
Practical help: The silk material is gentle on sensitive scalps after chemotherapy
Self-confidence boost: They allow women to feel attractive and feminine despite hair loss
Social integration: They reduce fears of social interactions and feelings of stigma
Motivation for treatment: Better psychological well-being contributes to a positive approach to treatment
The first series of silk scarves has received an extraordinary response and confirmed that this form of support is extremely valuable for patients. We receive touching feedback from women who have found our scarves to help them cope more easily during difficult periods of treatment.
