The Organ Donor Foundation

The role of the Organ Donor Foundation is to educate and inform the public about the life-saving benefits of organ transplantation and the urgent need for peple to register as organ donors. Sadly, many people with healthy organs die unexpectantly every year due to injury or brain conditions. Their families are then faced with the dilemma of deciding whether to donate their organs. The Organ Donor Foundation aims to motivate everyone to consider the issue of organ donation timeously and to make their wishes known to their families.
