The Jamaica Kidney Kids Foundation is a registered non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the care of children living with kidney disease in Jamaica.
Over the years, the Foundation has been working with schools and corporate entities across Jamaica to raise awareness, and along with donations received, we’ve been able to purchase much-needed medication and offer dialysis to pediatric patients, where possible.
Click the link (http://kidneykidsja.com/our-kids/) and get to know more about some of the kids, who are very dear to us.
On March 10, 2022, we will join in the global celebration of “World Kidney Day” and would love to be able to raise awareness and empower those living with kidney disease via an interview on your morning time programme.
There is always a child in need, and so Dr. Maoyline Miller, Founder, and Director would love to share some of the activities planned as well as use the opportunity to thank Jamaicans for their continued support.
