Giving Kidney Patients a Lifeline

Odyssey Reinsurance Company sponsored 10 new dialysis machines with a generous gift of $200,000 to benefit needy kidney patients. Each dialysis machine can benefit 6 patients and provide 30,000 hours of dialysis treatment. Corporate generosity and
responsibility are part of their company’s culture and NKF is grateful for their support for our patients.

Kidneys are so small yet so pivotal to one’s well-being and health. Kidney failure has a debilitating effect on other major organs. NKF is driven to educate the public through its awareness campaign. Its belief in human dignity; resilient spirit and the dedication of the NKF team have alleviated much discomfort, be it financial or health care. OdysseyRe is proud to support the NKF and be part of its altruistic purpose.

Oceania Singapore are raising funds for needy kidney patients by donating $3 from every three-hour prawning package. Participants were also taught techniques in prawn fishing and a recipe for cooking up the tastiest fresh water prawns. This fundraising drive will continue until August 2017.

Munch for Hope

NKFrolled out “Munch For Hope” in May where food and beverage companies join us to raise awareness of kidney disease prevention by sharing with diners that they can always opt for healthier choices without compromising food quality. They also raise funds for needy kidney patients through this initiative.

I knew from my
cousin, who is
a kidney patient,
that dialysis
treatment is
expensive. Hence,
I contacted NKF and
offered to
raise funds for
them.

Mr Cai Jiaming
Owner, Ming’s Prawn Noodle
Mr Cai Jiaming, 26, started Ming’s Prawn Noodle at
Alexandra Village and held a charity sale of 200 bowls of prawn nodles in May 2016 to raise funds for NKF. Although Jiaming started his business for barely a month, he spared a thought for the needy kidney patients through this meaningful endeavour.

We decided to support
NKF to do our small
part to thank the kind
donors who have been
helping to provide
financial assistance to
the kidney patients. At
the same time, we
would like to advocate
that healthy food can
be very tasty too.
