"Give a Kidney" Charity
Could you donate a kidney to a stranger?
Non-directed kidney donation, also known as altruistic kidney donation, is when someone chooses to give a kidney to someone in need without knowing who will receive it.
More than 1,000 people in the UK have donated a kidney to someone they don't know to massively transform lives.
"Give a Kidney" is a charity raising awareness of non-directed living kidney donation, with a vision of "No Waiting For A Transplant For Want Of A Kidney"
