Our latest addition to our Donate for Good initiative is DKMS Africa (an organisation committed to one cause: fighting blood cancer and blood disorders); EasyVSTRs who love to lend a hand can donate to the organisation through the EasyEquities platform.
Who is DKMS Africa
The journeys of The Sunflower Fund and DKMS began similarly: in different corners of the world, the fate of patients suffering from leukaemia started a movement, a community of people committed to one cause: fighting blood cancer and blood disorders.
The Sunflower Fund was inspired by the heroic struggle against leukaemia of two brave young men, Darren Serebro (1997) and Chris Corlett (2000). DKMS was founded more than 30 years ago in Germany after Mechtild Harf’s family was told the only treatment for her leukaemia was a bone marrow transplant.
DKMS Africa aims to change the history of stem cell transplants in South Africa and globally. With a collective 51-year history of saving lives, in seven countries on 5 continents, The organization prides itself on being the premier organisation in Africa to recruit donors. Its mission is to create awareness about blood stem cell donation and to maintain a global registry of donors who are representative of the world’s diversity and ethnic background, and the goal is to recruit an ethnically diverse registry of donors committed to helping anyone in need of a life-saving transplant.
The organization raises awareness of blood cancer and blood disorders and treatments.
Compassion knows no geographical boundaries and we try to instill this as the core idea in our hearts which helps us to expand our global reach! - DKMS Africa
