Dkms Africa

OUR MISSION: DKMS Africa is a donor recruitment centre and registry. We fight blood disorders and cancers like leukaemia through the recruitment of stem cell donors and maintaining a registry of potential donors committed to helping anyone in need of a life-saving stem cell transplant. We fundraise to cover the cost of education and awareness about the need for and the process to become a blood stem cell donor as well as to cover the cost of the HLA tissue-typing test involved in the recruitment of donors. The Sunflower Fund also maintains a patient support fund to assist patients who are unable to afford costs associated with getting to transplant as well as being actively involved in creating a platform for support structures to assist patients, families and communities. OUR VISION: Our vision is to save lives of individuals diagnosed with blood disorders by increasing the number of patients making it to transplant.
