Our mission
Save7 was founded by a Stellenbosch medical student after witnessing patients dying due to the shortage of organ donors in South Africa. It is a registered NPO which raises awareness and simplifies the process of becoming an organ donor.
Raising awareness
We have reached over 2 million people through media appearances, incentivised sharing and partnering with businesses.
Developing systems
From designing a donor transplant referral pipeline, to creating a time capsule registry, we never stop innovating.
Supporting patients
Our volunteers run support groups for patients on dialysis and compile a library of patient and donor testimonials.
