Cape Kidney Association is a Non-Profit Organization that raises funds to assist Indigent kidney patients suffering from chronic kidney failure on dialysis at the Provincial Hospitals.
Reaching our target monthly will enable us to assist those patients, many of whom come from rural areas in the greater Western Cape. We assist 160 patients from Groote Schuur & Tygerberg Hospitals.
The monthly food hampers are purchased at a cost of around R40,000.00 per month as well as maintaining the cost of managing an office that is currently being run remotely to enable the Association to continue the work to assist these patients.

The Cape Kidney Association was founded in 1978 by a group of Nephrology Doctors and Nurses who saw the need to assist the Indigent kidney patients. Patients travel from afar as there are no dialysis units close by. We serve majority patients in the Renal Unit at Groote Schuur and Tygerberg Hospitals. Most of the patients are unemployed and some of them receive disability grants.
