Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

On April 11, 2013, Kasisi Foundation was established with its mission to help children by providing ongoing and stable support for a Zambian orphanage. It is a home for over 230 children. They are orphans, half-orphans, victims of domestic and sexual violence, human trafficking, street children and kids that have been abandoned in the bush, in empty buildings or in latrines. A third of the children are ill, some with physical and mental disabilities. From the start we never wanted to run just a charity project and then move on. We made a commitment to stay in Kasisi (hence the name of the foundation, which identifies us so strongly with the place). We wanted to take care of Kasisi as if it was our own home. Our aim is simple - we want to give these children back their childhood and also give them a home, where they will feel important and loved. We also make sure that they can eat properly, learn, develop their passions as well as live and receive medical care in conditions that every child deserves. We started off by assisting Kasisi by saving lives. We managed to renovate a mini-clinic, equip it with equipment that allows for extensive on-site diagnostics, ensure a constant supply of medicines and to purchase an ambulance. We have created medical facilities to which children in Zambia rarely have access. As a result, we have reduced child mortality to practically zero. The next step was to improve the quality and quantity of the children's meals. Since the foundation has existed there is no longer the eternal dilemma of choosing whether to pay for food or medicine in Kasisi. Previously the children used to eat mainly bread and nshima (a local type of porridge), and meat was only available once a week. We have drastically improved the food supply and raised its quality. Long-term changes in children's development have become apparent. The number of illnesses has decreased, the children's performance in school has improved, and - perhaps most pleasing of all - they have begun talking openly about their dreams! Today, we are also trying to fulfil the children's dreams of attending the best schools in Zambia. Moreover, we pay for two of the children's medical studies in Poland and for the others we organise trips for them to get to know their country, take them to the cinema as well as arrange painting and music workshops. Furthermore, we renovate the houses in which the children live on an ongoing basis. The Kasisi Children's Home is regarded as a model institution by the Zambian authorities. However, this does not mean that our needs as a home have been satisfied. On the contrary, they are growing. More and more disadvantaged children come to us: those who need special care and who have disabilities. To be able to provide them with the best possible help, we built and equiped a new, professional physiotherapy room. During last 10 years we have witnessed more than once the power of many people giving even the smallest amounts. Thanks to them Kassisi has changed and is still changing. That is why we would like to encourage you to assist the children regularly through the "Adoptions from the Heart" project. This is a project in which anyone can help a chosen child with any amount of money by adopting them from a distance. All one needs to do is go to our website and choose the child they want to support. For us there are no sums regarded as too small - each one is worth its weight in gold. What is most important to us is that the support is given regularly. We have a fixed budget which enables us to respond to the children's needs on an ongoing basis. Your business can become a catalyst for change in the lives of these vulnerable children. We offer unique opportunities for corporate partnership, allowing your business to contribute to meaningful projects. One such endeavor includes the collaborative effort to equip a new library for the children in Kasisi, fostering their education and growth. Your participation can make a significant difference in the lives of these children, and we look forward to the possibility of working together towards a better tomorrow.
