Gift of Living Donation
Gift of Living Donation is a UK-based nonprofit organisation primarily focused on promoting and creating awareness about living kidney donation within the Black community. The charity was established by Dr. Dela Idowu, inspired by her personal experience of offering to donate a kidney to her brother who suffered from kidney failure.
Mission and Objective
The organisation aims to educate and inform people about the process and benefits of living kidney donation, particularly addressing the high need for organ donors within the African Caribbean community. It highlights that individuals from African Caribbean backgrounds are more likely to develop illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension, which are major causes of kidney failure.
Activities and Initiatives
Gift of Living Donation has developed educational resources to facilitate discussions about living donation. One notable initiative is the production of an educational film designed to provide information and spark conversations among black kidney patients and their families about finding potential donors. Additionally, Dr. Dela Idowu has authored a book titled "More Than a Match," which chronicles her journey as a potential donor and serves as a guide for others navigating the process.
Impact
By focusing on home-based educational interventions, Gift of Living Donation targets African and Caribbean communities, particularly in North and North West London. The charity seeks to reduce the wait times for blacks on dialysis by increasing awareness about living kidney donations.
Registration Details
Gift of Living Donation is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales under the number 1210607.
