💚 Happy Youth Day 🦏

Today we celebrate our youth — their courage, their potential, their resilience and their future.

The Isipho Initiative was created with our youth in mind: young transplant recipients who have already walked a brave and difficult road, and who deserve to feel seen, supported and included as part of the transplant community.

Through the initiative, crocheted Isipho mascots will be gifted to children who have undergone life-saving organ transplants as a symbol of hope, courage and belonging.

This Saturday, we walk for them.

Join us at The Isipho Walk as we celebrate young lives, raise awareness around organ donation and support paediatric transplant recipients.
