Take the decision to #makeitknown that you are an organ donor.
My wife has renal failure and have been waiting for a kidney since 2012. We are both organ donors and our families are aware of our wishes. There are numerous misconceptions about organ donation and tissue donation. Tell's goal is to first educate the public about organ donation as well as medical professionals and secondly break the stigma and misinformation around organ and tissue donation.
It is also important to note that in South Africa, the donor’s family has the final say in whether or not organs are permitted to be donated.
Their mission is to end the waiting list by changing and leading the conversation around organ and tissue donation in South Africa

TELL's mission is to end the waiting list by changing and leading the conversation around organ and tissue donation in South Africa.
Because the most important part of organ and tissue donation, is conversation.
