Kevin Kararwa Leukaemia Trust

Kevin Kararwa Leukaemia Trust We create awareness, educate, engage and offer support to those suffering from leukaemia and other blood cancers.


“Anyone can be a hero”

Since being established in 2015, KKLT has sought to engage with BAME (black & minority ethnic communities to raise awareness of Leukaemia, educate and inform the community about Stem Cell Donation (commonly known as bone marrow donation), and encourage individuals to join the stem cell registry. Our aim is to increase the number of potential stem cell donors in the registry thus increasing BME community’s survival rates. We have done this through delivering presentations, distributing information leaflets, use of social media, organising events, seeking speaking opportunities in various BAME community gatherings, and partnering with places of worship to talk and holding registration drives. More recently we have started to expand our services to include the distribution of food parcels and provide emotional and physical support to people with blood cancers and their families, thus reducing their isolation/loneliness and increasing their emotional and mental well-being.

Stem cell matches are strongly ethnicity specific because tissue types (HLA markers) are inherited and closely linked to ancestry. People are far more likely to find a life-saving match from someone who shares a similar ethnic background.

Patients from Black, Asian, mixed-heritage, and minority ethnic communities often face longer waits and lower chances of finding a suitable donor, simply because these groups are under-represented on stem cell registers. Increasing donor diversity isn’t just important; it’s critical. Every new registrant from an under-represented community significantly improves the chances that someone, somewhere, will find the match they desperately need.
